I do things backwards a lot of times. Some people build their bike and
swop out the tires. I pick the tire, then build the bike around it. LOL

Here's my next pick for a tire, on my existing build.
22x11x10. Now the mental work can start.

That is how I started my first chopper,started by choosing wheels and the rest fell into place.With that big rear tire it will look cool.

Yes, Its a golf cart tire. The kind you need a high lift kit installed if you had it on a cart. They also make cool rims for these tires.

some cool wheels on there too
I like the first ones on the page, sort of 70s slot mag style

I see they do mud tyres for golf carts. wouldnt get a low score on the round of golf if it was mud you were playing on

I was considering using a go kart wheel on a chopper. the hubs look easy to mod.

I have a supplier for the hub set up and suppliers for everything you need for the rear end set up etc. All bolt on a 1" axle. Let me know if you ever want to do one. Take care.

I dont have a job just now. So cant afford to buy much bike parts. :(
Also I am in Scotland, so its a bit far to send things.

So anything Im building has to be stuff I have allready.
But have loads of stuff, so I can build any bike I want. :1eye:
