hey Tbone, welcome to miniriders

You should be able to go to 10's, just be sure to get the right axle size, and same brake disc size that is on your current wheels, and the right sprocket pitch to suit your chain. Hope this helps mate

Hey blender thanks for the quick as reply .. Yeah I was thinkin about the axles an the set I'm looking at is off ebay there just rims an tires so I'm fitting all my discs an sprocket then just spot weld all the spokes so the little **rz don't move haha

 

[Blender]

spot welding spokes ? woudnt the rim come laced new ? you have to also make sure that your disc and sprocket will line up to the hubs on the new wheels. my atomik 125 runs "sdg" hubs, they seem to be the most common sizes for sprockets/discs.
Do you have a link to the set your looking at?

 

[Tbone_4300]

Yeah the rims
Are complete I found on my last 50 my spokes when all loose an the rim
Was **** so I got
A new 1 an spot welded the spokes on the bit where ya tighten ya spoke an it would so dam we'll never had a problem

I think my 14 an 12 are 15mm axles tho so I just gotta see if they
Will fit snug in
My forks an swing arm...

 

[Blender]

the wheels u linked to have the "sdg" styled hubs. one thing i read though, was that it states the axle size being "around 12mm" so i dont know whether they will fit up to your bike. Do you have a set of Verniers? if so, measure your axle width, to be sure.

 

[Tbone_4300]

Yeah man got a set of Vern's il have a look when I get a chance 13hr shifts can go
EAD.!! Haha ... Although if they have different size axles I could probley get a set machined up that taper down
... .??? Ya recon .?

 

[Blender]

what are ur current axle sizes ?

 

[Tbone_4300]

Havnt had a chance to look yet but being it's 14/12 set up if dare say they are 15mm

 

[Blender]

well most pitbikes that have USD forks run a 15mm front axle, from my experience anyway

 

[Tbone_4300]

Might have to just she'll out an get another bike then haha oh well let the shopping begin there anything good for sale on here brisbane to goldy area under $1000..?

 

[Blender]

u woulndnt have to get a new bike, just find a set of 10" wheels with the same axle sizes

 

[Tbone_4300]

Well finaly got to messure up my axles an
It turned out they are 15s so there goes that plan lol that thumpstar add for $800 keep catching my eye they look the goods an are well built bikes .?

 

[Blender]

Genuine thumpstars are very good bikes, they are the original minis, the ones that started it all. Plus, by buying one, you will be supporting this site, as they're site sponsors!
