Kansas City Downhill Big Wheel Racing

[Almighty Malach]

I'm going to search for a cheap front end that has disc's. Hopefully I'll stumble across something.

Bet you could find another cheap ass walmart bike with a disc front end. Would probably be just a mechanical brake, but you really shouldn't need hydraulic brakes on this; there might be more illegals running around for you:ror:

A walmart bike is what I was hoping for. Just gotta try and find one on Craigslist that isn't too expensive.

Although I do have the original front end off my Hayabusa still. Maybe dual 6 piston calipers with 320mm rotors would be fitting for this thing :mrgreen:

I wonder what the record is for down hill big wheel racing on Pikes Peak?? :shock:

Quite awhile ago I had thought about picking up some karting wheels and tires. After running mine a couple more times the wheels I am using started to buckle at the hub. So this morning I went and picked up a couple sets.

New rear wheels are on 8)

Needs an extended rear end, some flaring, and some cool Japanese graphics.

As far as I know there will be 3 of us this weekend having some fun. The rest of the guys need to get off their ass and get something ready.... at least a plastic old school rig to bomb down the hill.

 

[demonoid369]

oh you have to get that Japanese graphics and then maybe some nitro and some spoilers........... ha I like it, got to have a spinner on those rims!

 

[dezfan]

I'm ready! I didn't see anything from the rules comitee, so I made a few tweeks to mine!

still brings back memories of the old down hill days.
found a old pic from the late 80's when we did two wheel gravity bikes.
had blast down-hilling it !!

like the changes,
go-cart tires & wheels should work great.
not sure about your new set though !!

ZORLAC @ 63 mph :twisted:

It's a wonder you made it to 50 Jerry!

The new seat is badass! The wheels and tires are a big improvement too I agree.

Isn't this like the 100th time we have talked about this. Maybe that was me and jimmy but we talked about it 15 years ago. even rounded up some good starting points but then every one flaked out.

 

[muddauber7]

I'm just shocked Captain Awesome actually finished something!



Looks sweet. How's the suspension working for ya? CG looks a tad high, no?
Ty has a frame, the rest is in design phase along with Nish...
It's on Dork! Grown men riding Big Wheels? Pftt! :ror:
