Wheelchair Wheels

Anyone on here rock one? How easy are they to fit?? Also, how the fuck do you get the 'handle' thing on the side off?

I'm having visions of some Andy Pipkin type sat in a darkened alleyway with his chair up on bricks...

Haha, I saw a guy in a wheelchair the other week with spinergys. Never thought about putting them on a bike.

saw an oldman with disc's the other day he was racing down the middle of the road on highbury corner going round the round about

I keep thinking about doing the opposite: fitting some spinergys to my ma's wheel(ie)chair.
Never thought about doing the reverse…

Would ya? Could ya?

Looks like a bikewheel to me... you can get those things for MTB's.

the guys who's bike it is says its off a wheelchair.

You are looking at a teny rim.

the one in the pic is a 26" (the biggest they do) with a 26x1" slick

front wheel is easy enuf,

back wheel: get a 26" front with a 6 bolt disk mount, and a 9mm quick release, swap it out for m10 solid axel, and fit one of these

I'm sure youve all seen them, i got one, its solid, hell of a lot better than screwing on cogs. you might need short cranks cos 2 26s will drop your BB.

...and here's where you buy them at $80 a pair

you might have to do the man a deal to get 1 or odd wheels
