I wouldn't use aluminium for adaptors. Spacers perhaps but not adaptors. Yeh Alan just pointed that out,for some reason I thought the eBay Ones were ally but there not so that knocks that idea on the head  |

been talking to one of the local alloy wheel emporium's and there suggestion is to change the studs for metric and use wobbly
nuts as suggested by andy r but is there a way of centreing the rims on the hubs as these nuts alloy for 4mm of adjusting ie
wheel pcd of 98 to 102???

Only by making spacers with a centre spigot. If you are going to machine the hubs to take metric studs, get them machined to 100 pcd |

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

i think they rely on the tapers on the bolts, they seem to centre themselves, iv checked on my two trikes i had with these on (before i got the new wheels) and they was perfectly ok, quite a few folk use em, never heard of any issues |

Just my 2p...........I think re drill the hubs or fit adapters. Never seen wobble bolts on wheels,but arent they going to take a pounding with a hard tail?

one of em i had em on was hardtail,it was ok, any wheels take a hammering with no suspension, ,
but far far less without low profile tyres, going to 85 from 50 made a massive difference in comfort, and i would say a lot less strain on the rear running gear

got a deal from the local trike shop for these and a set of wheels  wheels they adapt 4" to 108mm ford/peugeot fitting ,a bargan at £80 for the lot and the tyres are like new  wheels 195/60/14 so hopefully they have a high enough sidewall for a bit of comfort |
