OK, its a fun project just to do something different... I get it.
However, "skidding" in this context, is the balls in the race. By increasing the race diameter, you are making the balls travel further for the same RPM, increasing their speed. The goal with bearings and bushings is to decrease the surface speed. This is why bearings at the center of a hub is so efficient.

I was more concerned about the max RPM of the bearing (4700 RPMs or 76mph) and I never thought about skidding, Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

It reminds me of the "gauges" that the punk kids put in their earlobes!
But I like the idea of the pass through for chains, although I don't seem to run into chains on the ramps around here very often.
Maybe the worst part of the new tire is that it replaces the wickedly good looking lightweight tire that you already make! I do love the way that your original tire looks and performs.

Well Dayton, we'll carry em! We think they're cool, the usefulness of a solid tiedown is great. Plus they look super cool.....

Looks great Dayton!
I can't help but think how easy it may be to add a cool little wheel pant.

How about a back view of both installations so we can see the width of the systems?
Thanks -
