Narrow your wheels and you wont have that rubbing on your links you talked about in your other thread.

Also, you might notice there is already a picture thread at the top of this forum in the stickys.

Not very many Tubers. I would like to see more of them. I searched but not really anything worth looking at that I could see. Sorry,....

Well I am always willing to help out.
And you really need to narrow thos rims, I took 7/8th out of the inside of mine, makes them a little taller and a lot narrower, you don't need to go any wider than you have to.

tubers are boring, try a home-made pimp cane!



I need a body for it, but until then!

Yes, because a whole load of effort goes into mounting some c-channel to some clod axles Edit: Also, if it's home made then it isn't a pimp-cane, that's syco's trade name for it. The name of the design is torsion stick, and it shouldn't have links, either.

Nice rigs guys

I used a mill with a cutoff wheel, I set the 1st cut just inside the inside bead, I turn the rim by hand while holding it down agains the table, then after thats removed I lower the spindle down however far I need to take out the unwanted width. Then clean up the edges, be sure to clean up all the blood, and use some super glue, I use the two part locktight super glue for plastic, I havent broke one yet.

Jay has always made some killer tubers.

Here are pics of my hybrid-tuber. It uses aluminum sideplates for the suspension mounting but the shocks are mounted to the tube cage.
