Re: pic: 179 Is riding on 4.5"
Can you provide a link to where you bought the wheels? Also, how is the tread attached?

Looks like it is probably either this:

or this:
http://www.gomeyer.com/shop/product_...oducts_id/1592

with some tread material added ...

Re: pic: 179 Is riding on 4.5"
yep it's the second link there (ADA Prowlers). These are beautiful and light. I saw them in a motorcycle shop 6 months ago, and the light went off. These are perfect! They shipped about 3 days after we ordered and gave us a multi wheel discount. As I assume they usually sell 2 at a time for the gas scooters.

Those wheels look really awesome. Did you get the belt from mcmaster or brecoflex? And how much for 4 wheels or however many you purchased?

Re: pic: 179 Is riding on 4.5"
I still would like to know how the tread is attached, but I have another question too. Is the area on the wheel underneath the tread totally flat? Or sis you have to do something to it to get the tread to sit in there right?

Re: pic: 179 Is riding on 4.5"
Those are nice. How many of them are you using? what is the coefficient of friction on the surface?

Re: HELP us get rid of this wheel tread!
what kind of rims are those? how do you get the tread to stick to the rims? my team had a lot of trouble with that two years ago when we tried to cover custom aluminum rims with linitax. sorry to change the subject, but i am curious.

Re: pic: 179 Is riding on 4.5"
I just found this thread again, and I remember how effective they were (grumble grumble ). Out of curiosity since the picture of the wheel doesn't make a means obvious, how were the wheels driven? Live axles? Dead axles? Custom hubs? Fairy dust?

Re: pic: 179 Is riding on 4.5"
As far as I can remember they had a sprocket bolted to them and they rode on a dead axle, hence the bearings in the wheels.
