front wheel help

[Gypsy]

ok the front wheel on the gt750 trike cannot take a tubed tyre !!! :mad:
anyone know of another wheel that would fit.. the existing tyre is 100/90 -19

Sounds the sameish size as the gs thou. You are better off replacing your tyre than trying to get another wheel to fit though mate. Check out ebay and see if there are any on there ... :)

im trying to get a square bottom tyre for the trike as it has a slight :D understeer, but the only ones i can get are ones with an intertube which the damn wheel wont take lmao

[minxy]

Aha! Well, I could suggest way of flattening the tyre if that helps?

PS - Dont tell anyone but the NC rear wheel on my chop has been running an inner tube for a year and theyre not supposed to ;)


Good luck :D

lol,,, im running on 18psi instead of 32psi just to make it a bit flatter :D

Hey Gypsy, "you need to get out more" ,lol :D

Wow 18 lb in the front is very low and will make the steering incredibly heavy and unresponsive. Not sure what kind of unsersteer you're getting; I guess it isn't the kind that has the rear end stepping out, so is the front tyre scrubbing out (slipping) on corners.?

first time I tried riding the trike was the wierdist feeling, no leaning, just an unresponsive hulk, ok so I have to 'turn' the handlebars to go round corners....but why does it try to stay in the turn and not straighten up when I move the bars back again?

wierd, but I'm sure I'll get used to it

[minxy]

Coz the tyres too flat love ;)

on country roads max of 40mph cos the rear dont follow the front lol :D

if you've got rear suspension then I might know exactly what the problem is.
