Re: AndyMark and IFI Compatibility
This is just one example of why you MUST NOT make engineering decisions based on assumptions. You should check/measure your parts and make appropriate design adjustments.
Our 10" X 3" Skyway pneumatic wheels (used this year and the previous two years - we LOVE 'em) actually measure approximately 10.25" diameter. We are also using 10" omni wheels, and our axle/frame mounting heights are different by the corresponding 1/8". Also since we are driving both from the same transmission, the sprockets are different by 1 tooth to give us similar "wheel surface" speeds.
