We recently acquired an old minibike. From a previous post, it seems as though it is some sort of Bird Engineering frame. I'm looking for advice on the rear wheel set-up. As you will see from the photos, the rear wheel greatly favors the clutch side of the frame, which makes the wheel off-center. Outside or moving the engine, are there any other options to help center the wheel (different style wheel/sprocket, etc)?
While we're at it, the previous owner used locking collars to hold the wheel in place on the shaft. Is that a good method or would the use of axle spacers be preferred?
Thanks,
Dusty
