demitrix Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Has anyone seen the picture of a motorcycle that has custom wheels that have no spokes? If so can you link me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 orbital wheels..interesting conceptyou can do this with a large custom bearing, or 2 large aircraft bearings (one on each side)but there are a number of downfalls to this design...

dustinsn3485 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 It doesn't need brakes. You just Fred Flinstone it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah I'd start with where the fuck do you put the brakes?! you can do buell style brakes...or throw the brake mechanism on the final drive. (whether it be chain or belt)and if it uses an air bearing, you could lower air pressure to initiate braking...i did alot of work with these types of bearings when i was working in the medical equipment field (philips medical systems) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangBruhY Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 There are some cool designs. I wished they all worked & were marketed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jermattak Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 whoa, i never noticed that about buells, funky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Aren't the brakes on that buell bolted to the spokes therefore eliminating the possibility of brakes on a spokeless wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 their actually bolted to the rim, kinda like a bead lock would look. and the caliper is reversed and still bolts to the forks. In theory their a great design, you get more leverage and all, but I've heard lots of mixed reviews about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
