recently Not so little stig had the run of my class 5 on the secret claypan for the day and the idea that she might want to sail her mini just isnt there any more. weve decided to convert my mini into a literacer. a minimum weight class 5 with a smaller rig and lighter wheels that is a very fast but stable platform. for me its a chance to try some new ideas and look back to s=ome past ones.
first stop is the wheels. this one will have 20" wheel sets on the rear . 20x2" rims for hard smooth ground, 20x3"rims for walyungup and also to carry fat tyres if they ever get on the market( for sand)
a chance to try out a new carbon spoke set up . the crossed pattern is a 3 cross woven set up


the wheels are rather light with both of the 2" rims weighing a sniff under 1600gms. the 3" rims only are both under 2000gms
tomorrow i will pick up some galtube for the longer cranked axles.
with the drop in the exploration industry our supply of BQ core tube has dried up so these axles will be pipe .
not my first choice , as the bq is the secret weapon that wins me races. PS if anybody knows where there is a 20x3 fatti-o tyre in australia for sale there is a reward!
