I've got a line on some KZ400 wheels - they're 18" but only 1.6" rim with a 5 1/2" hub. Would need to replace the bearings but my question is are the rims too narrow? The tires are 3" wide... This is for a front rim. The rears have the integral brake drum built into the hub - I'm considering this too for use of the brakes - I like the drum brakes being simple cable operated. I think the rears are 1.85" wide. Opinions or experience?Also - my Hoopman plans didn't include any gear plans except the cub style - are the Jenny style plans available seperately? I could probably go from photos and other peoples dimensions / descriptions=2C but plans would be nice if they're available.Thanks=2CTom BrantBrooklyn Park=2C MN80% fuselage=2C tail=2C ribs done=2C 40% Corvair engine - Buying spar material in another two weeks - yeah!________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:37:49 -0700

axle size is 17 MM (5/8") but if you press out the bearings=2C it could be larger. Another thing to consider is the gauge of the spokes - the KZ400 spokes are pretty heavy.> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: KZ400 wheels and plans for Jenny style gear
