 Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2006 1:18 pm Post subject: Nose Wheel Questions |
 |
|
Listers,
I recently aquired a spare set of Cleveland 5:00 X 5" main wheels. I recently spoke to the owner of Matco Engineering, the current supplier of Vans Nose wheel. I asked him what differed between the product listed for our nose wheel and his standard 5:00 X 5" wheel offering.
He stated that the only difference was the location of the hole in the wheel for the inner tube. It seems that the Lamb tire and tube supplied by Vans locates the exit of the valve stem in a different location, as compared to the main tires.
I have three questions
#1 When did Vans switch from Cleveland to Matco for the nose wheel?
#2 Is there any weight difference between the Magnesium Cleveland wheel and the aluminum Matco wheel?
#2a Has anyone used a 5:00 X 5" tire on their nose wheel?
#2b Did this require modification of the fork or wheel pant?

I would be surprised if you could use a 5" wheel/tire...at least on a
6A. The difference in size between a 5" and 4" tire is not trivial.

Ron, the 5" is standard on the -10. 6" on the mains.
