Pit Bike Wheels and tyres sets
By: Adrian Date: November 7, 2019, 10:07 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I seem to remember someone, somewhere bought some 17" pit bike
wheels with tyres for £27 each.
Am I correct?
If I am, does anyone know where I get them from?
Thanks in anticipation......

I bought some wheels from one of the companies selling pit bikes
and also sets of front and rear wheels. They'd broken up a few
sets to send out rear wheels to people who had bought pit bikes
and broken their rear wheels and so had a few front wheels left
over. I think it was pitbikeparts.co.uk, but can't remember at
the moment - but presumably you could call any of the suppliers
selling sets of wheels - I phoned a few before I had any luck
and I suspect it'll just depend on their stock at the time. I
got my original set of wheels from funbikes but they had knobbly
tyres and inner tubes and cost a lot more. I did try getting
just the front wheels from a manufacturer in via Alibaba but
failed. Good luck.

Buy your wheels in the UK. You absolutely should ensure that the
outside diameter of the bearing is 35 mm. If there is SDG in the
description you are usually OK, but check before buying. Reason
is that the 35 mm OD bearing has more options for changing to a
bigger ID than 37 mm ones.
FWIW I have been contacted by a person who collected a lot of
bits to build (including wheels) and is selling everything as he
is building/restoring an Austin 7 full size special. These have
now been acquired by one of our members.

Rhys is absolutely right about bearing size. However the last
time I looked 17" pit bike wheels were becoming scarce in the uk
and had risen in price, due I presume to the number of
enquiries. I understand that shipping costs have also risen
sharply now, due to covid19! Gemini Karts are struggling to get
hold of any from overseas and if successful will be months away,
with no guarantee of competitive cost.
If the wheels from France are 35 OD, it seems a good option.
Has anybody found a source in the UK recently?

Hi All, I heard back from the French company Wkx, selling good
priced 17 in Front wheels. Yes they are 35mm O/dia bearing
.....the good news.
The bad news.....The won't post to Uk ???....
Any one fancy a French holiday n bring back a Van load of
wheels at 29 Euros each :D
Oh well, worth a try.

It seems impossible to find decent wheels for a sensible price
whether new or second hand, all I can see on facebook
marketplace is random mismatched ones missing spokes !!

I spotted he has a pair of 14 inch wheels, I'm a massive
tighwad atm as redundancy is looming so have been looking under
the bottom of the barrel which incidenty is providing lots of
£10 per wheel listings where they are all mismatched!
