telecat Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Come across a few people trying to do this but no answer's yet! Somebody will come out with one but we said that about the front tyre on the REV50 and thats still the only one you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpro Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I was told at one of the recent C & D Nationals that a Gas Gas 2001 rear wheel would fit, but I haven't tried one yet. We have this week added a flywheel weight to the Rev 80. Will report back on it's effect. Others have had good results. Time will tell.

as iow Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I have a tubeless Gas Gas rim on a 80 hub cost a packet and not realy worth the adavatage. Some use a old Gas Gas or talon wheel but in my experiance (at British championship C class level) you would be better off with two standard tube wheels, one for practice and one for trials. The differance between a tube and tubeless wheel an't as much as those who practice hard and those who don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials lad Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Ive never seen a kid that yound doing something like that on a beta 80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan bechard Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) The Beta 80's at the Youth Nationals had the full size wheels and tires. I thought in speaking with Ron Commo the Beta importer that they were available both ways from him and you could also pick up the other set of wheels rather inexpensively. Not sure if this is a US only thing or not. But I am sure that Ron would work with you to get it done. Maybe they were not tubeless, but I thought they were????

phillis Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 One wheel from Gas Gas txt edition 1999 model will fit, need an early brake disk of earlier model, need 428 blank sprocket machined and spacers machined for spindle size advantages can run on 1psi and tyre does not come of rim also easier to repair punchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
