99twin350 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 02bluemxbanshee is right, if the holes are up and down woddled out run them i have 10 paddles on honda rims and dont have issues.(torque wrench great investment. Quote
iceman Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Posted September 23, 2005 thanks for the link. what thickness should i get? they only have 125 and 190. i have 160s . lol. will it matter or no? Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 according to the nasa fastener design manual, they can be resusd up to 3 times. 414528[/snapback] I wouldn't trust them with my space shuttle, I sure wouldn't trust them with my shee. Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 according to the nasa fastener design manual, they can be resusd up to 3 times. and maybe you should lift some weights or buy an impact. sheesh. 414528[/snapback] I had no idea. I've always been told (not by any Nasa scientists though) that you shouldn't reuse a nyloc and expect it to perform. Thats good to know. Quote
iceman Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) so does anyone know if a .190 thick rim on one side and a .160 on the other will freak me up? or do i need to order two new rims? Edited October 19, 2005 by iceman Quote
Hulio-mv Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 try this for your studs if you need them replaced take one to a hardware or fastner store and get bolts it works and you can get 4 for $4 instead of $4 each just make sure the sleeves stay in your hub Quote
iceman Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Posted October 20, 2005 the hub is fine. i got the chunks out. i just need to know if the different rim thicknesses will unbalance me or anything. i dont think it would matter. but id rather be sure before i order a new rim. Quote

Thats good to know. 420212[/snapback] we use them several times on our helicopters, the best way to tell if time to change it is when you can twist it all the way down with your fingers.If the nut is still good you should only be able to twist it a few threads with fingers. Now I dont work for nasa but I stayed at a Holiday inn express lastnight. Quote

I'd trust you over some nasa scientist. At least YOU are flying in the contraption you are working on, not sitting behind a desk with a tie and a cup of coffee saying "That shouldn't have happened....." Quote
myscreemingbanshee Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) Must say I probably did one of the dumbest things ever the other day at Glamis. Me and my buddies were on our way back from Olds comming through the washes, at wash 4 i got caught up in my buddies dust and when i cut to the left to get out of it there was a bush!! Went right through it bike went up on 2 wheels my foot slipped and went under the bike at which point i got thrown off. After I hit the ground the bike went off to the right for a good 50 feet and finally cut off. Thankfully i walked away with only a sprained ankle and a bruised ego. Only damage to the shee was that i dented the front bumper. I guess shit happens but damn I feel dumb as shit. Edited November 17, 2005 by myscreemingbanshee Quote
Justintoxicated Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 I just use the nuts from RMATV, tighten by hand with socket, thats it, never had a problem. Quote
3ban5shee0 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 nah the rim is gone. i think i can use the hub but i might be interested in the durablues. theyre better than stock arent they? i shouldve bought a torque wrench. i also probably shouldve used any wrench. they were hand tightened and thats probably why they came off. 414758[/snapback] u hand tightened them wow ur banshee needs a new owner Quote
Malott 1 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 This is just a thought but have you ever seen a rim that has been drilled to fit 2 different bolt patterns? If you feel your rim is screwed up then you have nothing to lose. Take your hub off and set it on the rim and mark your new holes and drill them. Just split the diffenence between the original holes. If you screw up you were getting a new rim anyway. Quote
