I will start with the tyres and the rims. On this build I wanted to use 9x3.5s, which are super wide.
Note: these only fit hubs that have a 4" lip.
Meet the CST C190 9x3.50-4, right next to a standard clever 200x50. Now that’s a difference. This also meant, that widening the rims was not just a plus, but a requirement even.
So I designed widening spacers for my MBS rockstar pro ii xl’s, that I printed out. These use the locking feature of the hub, with a decently tight press fit fit, which should help keeping the tyre run true. I would like to get them machined out on a CNC mill one day out of alu.
The slick CSTs are the most balanced tyres I’ve had so far, but the clever turf tyres are a little wobbly at speed.
Both of them grip really well, and both are really heavy. Sadly it makes jumping significantly more effort, especially as I am still recovering from a sprained ankle.
