KHALIL Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 does any one know how to flip the front wheels to get a wider stance, avoiding the darn valve stems from hitting the brake assembly. how can you get rid of the stems. Quote
Big Blue Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 you have to drill a hole in the other side of the wheel and install a valve stem, and you put the existing valve stem facing the inside of the wheel. Quote
baldwinville Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 there is another way to do it. you can get flush mount valve stems to go in the original holes. it makes puting air in a little tricky but it beats putiing more holes in your rims. i did it and got alomost 5 inches of offset. also i flipped my rears around and got more offset thet way.

02_banshee Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 with the rears.. i found when flipped to make banshee wider it was also alot harder to turn ..turn em back and it was easy havnt swapped front round dont think i would if i was gunna i would just buy a-arms Quote

KRMit Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 Is it easier or harder to turn with the fronts swapped? Is there really an increase in bump-steer? Quote

My friend flipped his front wheels and said it made the world of difference...I rode it myself and noticed a nice difference, especially for the fact it didn't cost anything!!! That always puts a smile on my face. BUT, if you're wanting a drastic improvement there is no quick fix other than swapping A-Arms. Quote

gomer Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 i hae got my back rims flipped and i love the way it made it fell much more stable expecially im fast turns i couldnt tell it made it turn any worse then befor i dont think a banshee turns worth a crap eitherway Quote
Klotzban1 Posted May 16, 2004 Report Posted May 16, 2004 I just invested in wider a arms and I am happy with the stance. +2 up 1. Quote
