150 tyre on kr1s
Anyone fitted a 150 tyre and how much gap is left tyre to chain in mm ?
Also I know it's a 150 but could someone put the verniers across the broadest part please ?
I have machined 5mm off my sprocket carrier too for the LC build and fearing I won't have room

Cheers Luders but I have machined 5mm off the carrier , so the chain will be 5mm closer to the tyre

Re: 150 tyre on kr1s
is a function of tyre brand which for a nominated size could be wider by +/- 10mm
and rim width - same for cars
being the running gear is in a different chassis/engine output centreline
if it doesnt fit then offset front sprocket and respace the rear to suit - that youve already done...

Yes but with the puny LC chassis it's like threading a needle , hence the carrier being machined 5mm in so it misses the frame plate
I know a 140 fits but had a feeling with the 150 it may not

Re: 150 tyre on kr1s
I have a 150 tyre here , not fitted to the rim and it measures 160mm across
That's why I need someone with a BT tyre fitted to give me the measurement please

On a rim it would never be 160

Cheers Gary
Well with my 5mm machined off the sprocket carrier then that measurement will give me 7mm clearance
How about cutting a piece of carboard 12mm wide and see how it sits between the chain and tyre
Thanks in advance

That measurement should be good enough for what you need - it could have a 2-3 mm tolerance either way anyway depending on how accurately the wheel is lined up.

Re: 150 tyre on kr1s
My track bike has a 160 on it and it's tight but there is plenty of clearance.
