Damn y’all cleared me out quick.

The only thing left is the six shooters and the random belts that I still haven’t had time to go through.

What’s it gonna take to get these six shooters out of here??? Someone make an offer!

6 shooters are 3.75" ? or 4" ?

Neither. 2.9” good for 6x2 clever tires

neverminded, need some 4" hubs that wont cost an arm and a leg. 5stars just gont seat the tires that well

My Rockstar IIs have always played nice, I’ve used 4 different sets and only one hub ever had issues with getting the tire off and that’s because the flashing on the tire was still left behind

What size tire? Are you using inner or outer lip?

8" T1 and T3 tires, there are different lips?

5 stars have 3.75" inside lip and 4" outer lip.

Depending on the diameter of the tire. It will sit on one of those two.

I just see you said rockstar 2. Those are fine because the lip is wide. The 4" lip on the5star is very narrow so the tire will “fall off” the outer lip.

Oh is that for 9" tires?

yip. Ideally id like to be in 12" range. but At that point I run into the problem of wheel bite again
as well as the need for even larger diameter hubs

Oh jeez why would you need a 12" tire?

not need, just want.

In short, larger diameter wheel will increase the stability of the wheel in motion. For one, it will reduce the amount of vibration perceived from the same amount of “disbalance” because the 2nd moment of inertia will increase as a a square of r.
so the lateral offset due to a given lateral force decreases immensely as we gain size.
It’s in large part why small bumps in the path on a bicycle feel fine at even 35 mph, when on a skateboard the same bump terrifying and will very likely knock you off.

of course, there are many tradeoffs here. lots of downsides, but I’m curious to see if it’s a sweet zone somewhere in that range where the tradeoffs are favorable again. so far, every time I increased my wheel size, it was a huge benefit in every way. unfortunately, the first thing we need above 10" is 96T wheel pulleys.

you just made my brain hurt!
