I didn't think so - but I love the look of 12's and when I find what I like then I just have to get one. I found another set of Falcon 12 inch wheels for the right price - and then I saw these tyres and went from there

Disc Brake Rear end and some alloy sprockets yet to come.

I'm really liking G Crafts new swing arm that QA posted up, and thinking my Yellow J1 only has a chinga one fitted, so I might have to give it a go. A set of Takegawa's new 12 inch wheels and a 30mm front end might see my J1 look and ride a little differently - time will tell.

I got the Tyres fitted to the rims and centred on the Hubs - here is a comparison to a 10 inch wheel and tyre
The Rear hub has a cush drive in it and I've opted for Disc Rear Brake



Front one on



Rear on almost









Only problem is The Rear Wheel and tyre is too wide for the Chain - so I'll have to wait till some offset sprockets arrive before I can go for a spin.

No, I haven't fitted them yet - the new ones are very similar though. I got a little dejected when I needed an offset sprocket and did'nt want to do too much after almost getting the wheels on. I might get to it on Sunday

I am waiting on a few goodies to come from Japan STILL - so they might spark me up if they get here before Thursday.

cheer up !!! .
even tho you havn't had a go with them on , the 40th looks tops .
how far out is the sprocket ? .

The chain rubs on the rim - so a 4mm offset will be sufficient, and I have ordered one from G Craft which should get it under control.

I looked at 7mm but I think it will create clearance drama with the swing arm.

you'd have to get them as a pair would'nt you ? .
front and rear

The rear is just a spacer and longer studs and then you can fit whatever standard rear sprocket you like and tune your gearing

Holy Mackerel that looks phat. love the longness and the low bars, what a fantastic combination. top effort !
