just make your own spining for your bike its easy get a bike tire without a rim then get a old rim and cut out everything except the edges of it and then cut 2 lines in the middle of it and get rollers and a thing that u want 2 spin onto tha rollers you can put barbie dolls *****s what everyyou want 2 spin if you can find long rollers and bend them into tha shape u need i do this all the time all of my low rider bikes have them on it they look phat

Instead of spinners, I want rims that stay stationary even when I'm moving. If you shell out the bucks for rims, you want people to appreciate them, even when your moving. If you connect some bling bling to your fly wheel in back, you could artificially spin it backwards while stationary and stop it while moving. I think that would be pretty cool. As for placement, outside of the spokes, you may have a mm or two of clearance.

But I think they'd get in the way of my curbfeelers and custom hydraulics.

Any ideas on the nitrous?

I'm a big fan of goofy-looking chopper bikes and other oddities. You can't really ride them for long, but they're alot of fun. I hate spinners on SUV's, but putting them on a bike would, uh, subvert the paradigm.
I go to Burning Man, so I get to see all kinds of bike art: choppers, adult-sized big wheels and bikes built for 4 or more riders.
Why is this on the commuter forum? 'Cause even commuters have a sense of humor.

What we need is a custom cruiser...metal flake pruple with gold leaf...must have a MTB suspension fork modified to work as "hydraulics", so we can hop that front wheel all the way down the block. We cannot forget to add a boombox mount so everyone can hear us bumping as we ride down the block, with out tinted sunglasses and our gin and juice in hand.

....wait...um...no

I love lowrider bikes! Becuase they were born on the *street* and not hyped by the huge bike manufactures who push all kinds of *bike bling* on cyclists. Come on folks, why would any rider need a wheel with less than 32 spokes, unless the're racing? Carbon seatpost or other spendy parts? 99% of all the high tech, light weight, racing bike gear is bought by guys who have no real need for it. Bike shops are full of bling bling you don't need but buy anyway (I'll admit to this )

Please don't bash on Mexican kids tricking out some bike if you happen to own a pair of sunglasses that cost more than 10 bucks. At least lower rider bikes have art to them.... besides a load of dough, how much creativity does buying a $4,000 racing bike and matching US Postal kit take?

....wait ..um.. YESSS! That would be super delux down at the ol' park

Is it illegal to ride drunk or if not drunk, drink while riding?

My young son thinks spinner wheels would be cool and that is good enough for me.

I have been trying to think of a way to make them.

Thanks for the link to a vendor, but it looks like they aren't available yet.

Let me know if anybody knows of some actual bicycle spinner wheels available on the market.

thelonephantom6

yeah!!

Did I miss a post? Who makes them? Where can I get one? Not the spinners... the motorcycles and sidecars!

Kabloink

I think someone is trying to make spinner wheels for bicycles.

Patrol and Gear Up are the ones with the engagable sidcar wheel for offroadin' mayham.
I think all of the new ones in the USA come with the 750 now(a much improved engine design not just bigger).

Quite a few folks look for used 650 engined machines (they're cheaper and the engines often worn out) and put a small diesel engine in them, ending up with a 100+ miles to the gallon they claim(I think 80+ would be a good hedge on that bet)

Spinners, no matter if they're for a motorcycle or a car/truck, have the weight of the spinning part equally distributed-- the bearings are at the rim, not the hub. There's no polar inertia.

Here are a few more resources. Let me know if you want some more information. I know a few people who ride them.

Here are a couple photos I took from a local shop.





I have friends that race them too.

Geez, a lot of people here who can't get past practicality. Spinners sound fun to me, practical or not. I'm about as midwest conservative as you can get but also live in an area where you see a lot of spinners and fast 'n furious types.

I wouldn't want to ride spinners for a serious ride, but it would be fun for something to take around the block. Think about what a wheel like that would do in a cross wind! Yikes! And I thought my Spinergy Rev X wheels were bad!
