You could mount a sprocket to the spoke like the little motorized bicycles do, but I don’t think that would hold up too well to the rigors of cyclekarting.

Maybe only good for front wheels…

I didn't see the chrome spoked wheel when I was looking thru the kingston-saddlery website, but after Jeff posted that link I also noticed that the spoked wheel has a 5/8" bearing ID.

I wonder what the weight of the 8-spoked wheel I originally linked is? I don't see a weight specified.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to convert these wheels for use at the rear? There's nothing to drill thru for the four hub bolts.

Back to the wheel proposed in the initial posting in this thread:

http://www.kingston-saddlery.com/kss.asp?sel=product&id=C2167.WT&typ_id=60&

Can anyone explain to me what that last picture is of?  The one that looks like
a 4-1/2" long threaded shaft with jam nuts on either end.  Does that part slide
thru the bearing, and then those shaped washers squeezed down on the bearings
when you tighten the jam nuts?  Is that how the bearings are held in the wheel?

OK, I am a little bit smarter now, maybe not smart enough.

This is the axle, I think:

http://www.kingston-saddlery.com/kss.asp?sel=product&id=C2167.AXLE&typ_id=60&cat\
=

So that little mini-axle shown in the wheel pics must go thru the hub of the
wheel, tighten down jam nuts on both sides.  Then that whole assy slides onto
the end of the axle referenced above, and a nut at the end of the axle holds the
whole thing in place?

Here is a new video with a new camera.  Springtime in OK with the MG.

Dave,
I am loving the wheel spinners you have on your car.  I have some that I
fabricated myself on mine which are smaller than yours but not as nice.  Would
you share how you mounted yours.  I considered buying some similar to yours but
did not have a good idea on how to mount them.
Thanks
Mike

Yes, Dave, the only thing I see criminal is the cleanliness of your garage….

Everyone asks me…”where do you drive your cyclekart?”

“Is it legal?”

My answer is….I drive it around my neighborhood on public streets.

No…it is not “legal.”

We live in a sleepy outer suburb.

The neighbors all wave at me.

The police have never stopped me.

If they did…what would they say?

I am 59 years old.

I am not terrorizing people or robbing a bank.

They would probably ask me nicely to not do it….

But I still would!

To that end…I guess I am a “libertarian.”

Minnesota has been called “the state where nothing is legal.”

I am not sure what harm is caused by driving a cyclekart on deserted streets!

Thanks,

Local neighborhood, at the very edge of town,  really smooth pavement.  Have to watch for wild turkeys on turn 2.

Allen,

Really great video-clip!

Cute car, excellent road with nice surroundings, Spring atmosphere - what else for  great joy...

That was probably "neighbourhood road", closed for other traffic?

Enjoy guys...

Ciao, Zoran

Way to go Allen.

I will post some new video of the 1926 Miller Indy car this weekend.

There is no joy like a cyclekart ride!

__._,_.

A while back I came across the Cyclekarts (www.cyclekarts.com) web site and I
was imediately hooked. Great concept! After a few hours of surfing the web I
decided I needed to build my own Cyclekart, you know how it is, I had to. After
a couple months of research and design work I started my kart in earnest in
Febuary. I have 2 months of progress photos I would like to share with the group
but no attachment button to click. Can anyone help me with the posting. Thanks

I have a few cyclekart steering wheel blanks cut from 1/4th inch aluminum plate
with a CNC plasma cutter if any of you would like to buy one.  All proceeds go
to tx/rx labs, a 501(3)c non-profit.

Some better pictures are here:

Using wepay.com for the payment method, it should take visa, mastercard,
american express, discover, or echeck.

Continental U.S. only, please.
