of the era carried along spare wheels during their race.\u00a0 For that matter, they carried along a mechanic in the cockpit too!\u00a0 Repairs along the roadside was very common back then.\u00a0 It wasn&#8217;t until they realized how many mechanics were being killed in race accidents that they halted the practice of carrying mechanics in the race.<\/p><p>The rubber tire technology was not that good back then so tires deflating was very common.\u00a0 Road conditions for races were often very crude as well which only contributed to the problem.\u00a0 Bugatti lost more than one race due to flat tires.\u00a0<\/p><p>So in keeping true to the design, I decided to add a spare wheel as many of the Type 13&#8217;s did.\u00a0 As my CycleKart was already heavy, adding another 14 pound wheel plus the mechanical support weighed heavily on my mind, pun intended.\u00a0 So I elected to use a spoked bicycle wheel as it would be much lighter.\u00a0<\/p><p>Unbeknownst to me, motorcycle wheels and bicycle wheels are measured differently.\u00a0 Motorcycle wheels are based on the diameter of the rim\/wheel, whereas bikes go by the outer diameter of the tire.\u00a0 Therefore matching the two with these differences turned out to be quite the education.\u00a0 What I finally ended up with was a 24&#8243; bike wheel with a 2.75&#8243; wide tire.\u00a0 The Shinko tires on the CT-90 wheels measured about 23.5&#8243; OD so it was pretty darn close for the outside bike tire 24&#8243; diameter.\u00a0 Never-the-less, it&#8217;s not too hard to spot the difference between the bike and CT-90 wheels, but it was close enough for me, and the weight savings are worth the difference.<\/p><p>I built the mechanical support using 2&#8243;x1&#8243; rectangular tubing and welded it directly onto the motor mount which was solidly welded to the frame.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not going anywhere.\u00a0 I was extremely proud of these welds, they looked very well done.\u00a0 If only I was this good when I first started, oh well the next project will look much better.<\/p><p>I&#8217;m currently using a very small diameter bolt with a quick release mechanism to hold the wheel onto the support.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a bit sketchy and it allows the wheel to rotate easily.\u00a0 So I need to remedy this somehow.<\/p><p>I&#8217;m also using a 6&#8243; diameter aluminum disc to act as a washer and to add my decal.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type
