KIRK Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 a little cast iron bosch style flywheel would still look cool. Or if you want alloy I can post you some flywheels and coils and you can steelies engineers one to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 My atco came with an alloy flywheel, I swapped it for a brass one I had, went straight on but had to change the timing marks. I've still got it somewhere if you want to give it a hoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98cc Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Both of the engines on my bike are Morrison reel mower villiers and they came out with aluminium flywheels. I don't see any reason that the brass flywheel tapers would be any different to the tapers on an aluminium flywheel engine. So it should be easy to swap flywheels and do some tests?

Steelies Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 yeah should be a straight forward swap. if i can find some good evidence that the brass ones are super sketchy i'll look into swapping. will jam a guard on anyway, if not just to ease the nerves. chur for all the offers.

Steelies Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 surely the weight savings of being one-legged would be worth it in the drome 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 deathrace. bike finally back together, fired it up on pet at lunchtime. need to steal slambike4's front wheel to put on it for testing. on the up side, i reek of castor oil now 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 had a good drome meet yesterday, even if it was fraught with various bike issues. had 4 bikes out. ended up doing 68kph on a bit-of-fuel-hose-jammed-in-emulsion-tube jet as i left my jets at home. fastest i've been at welly drome. having the gear shifter on the top tube made it sketchy to use. running no jet had it 4-stroking on meth easily, so safe to say i can start winding fuel back from there?

KIRK Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I guess so. tho who knows what kinda weird shit goes on with no jet at all. edit: also 68kph is like so 2012 spec. 2013 sub 100cc bikes go over 70kph now puhuhuhu. got keep up with developments steelies don't fall behind. This is like motogp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 drome racing homie, gotta clock it up in the drome! i'm gaining on ya though, rot drome will provide better results methinks. new/old OG grips, gear shift on toip tube and maxxis miraco tires all round chillin in the heavy haulage vehicle. flywheel guard on bigger final reduction than at dromageddon, yay more sketchy gear changes. moved chain side seat stay out for chain clearance. new rear guard and grips off mk1 slammer. look at that yuck exhaust pipe yuck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRK Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 looks ace. hey, how is your back sprocket attached to hub? its a push bike wheel and hub right? im going chain final drive on the bike in planning at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 che che. yep bike front sprocket on the rear. take off crank. find friendly engineer to turn centre out to fit over a standard kick brake hub drive spigot. thats a gutted and welded solid sturmey hub on there, same sprocket fitment as normal old bmx brake hub with retaining clip etc. weld 3 dots on inside of new sprocket bore to locate in the hubdrive spigot's slots. file to fit put on, put clip on. i've used this system for both velo bikes and slowly amassing a range of different sprockets to choose from.

kicker Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 p.s. This does burnouts, I would have recorded it but was struck dumb by the awesomeness and rarity of a Villiers burnout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
