Ordering DNA's big spoke tomorrow from KC International for my 2005 deluxe. 21x3.5 front and 18x4.25 rear. Question, if I order their rotors and sprocket do I need to also order spacers? Also I have searched and cannot find a www tire to fit the rear. Who sales one that will fit a 18x4.25 wheel. Thanks.

 

vee rubber has a rear tire but the ww is a 1/4 inch smaller than there front. seen some on e-bay

 

Ya sucks brother, your only option for WW tires now is VEE. They suck but its all you can get now that Tab at DB stopped production. I had a VEE on the front of my sled when I bought my wheels. The WW was brown in a short time. Vee may have gotten better but not sure. Good luck. As far as spacers, someguys have good luck, others dont. I had to machine one of the front stock spacers down about 3/16 on the rotor side. Post pics when done. later

i put dna fat 52s on my train no problem bolted up with no extras. i may have just got lucky IDK

 

I have that set up. I used Tab at DB for tires, hopefully he back up and running soon.

You can use the stock spacer, but if your get new shoes get the laces too. I used the Harley chrome spacers.

 

Word of Caution when going with a DNA Spoke Sprocket, I have read a couple of times that the DNA sprocket has came apart while going down the road. And it SUCKS that Tab doesnt make WWs anymore, the one I got from him was the BEST WW I HAVE EVER SEEN. PERIOD. Dont know why he stopped, maybe he was getting covered up with orders, but of all the guys that went with him, they was ALL HAPPY with their WWs.

Its a shame that the only 120/70/21 WW you can get now is a CRAP VEE RUBBER. Tab couldv'e had the Market CORNERED. He could have opened his own company and made a KILLING. JMHO. Sad to see Tab not making BAD A** WWs Anymore.

 

I have heard the same thing with it comes to DNA spoked sprocket. I ordered a set of DNA wheels, but stayed away from their pulleys.

I talked to Tab a couple of months ago and he said they just take to long to make since he has to do both sides of the tire vs one. Great product though. Maybe he will have a change of heart.

 

They don't even make or sell the spoked pulley anymore

 

That's what I was thinking. The style that everyone has read about is the old one that has actual spokes, like the wheels. The newer ones that are machined from solid billet that they have been selling for a few years now do not cause any problems.

 

Tabs first job is DB tires and he did these on the side. He did say they take along time and we certainly kept him busy, so it's a shame DB wouldn't see the value and offer the service but maybe as the dust settles he will get back into it. I am hoping since I will need a replacement at some point.
