Motorcycle Rims
PT SSI produces motorcycle rims which are specialized
for automotive industries and require good weldability,
drawability, and better quality surface. The number
of spoke holes on the rim normally matches the number
of spoke holes in the hub. Some unusual rim designs
have no holes for spokes.
Rims meant for use with rim brakes provide a
smooth braking surface, while rims meant for use
with disc brakes or hub brakes sometimes lack
this surface.
Rims can either have a single-wall or double-wall
cross section. Single-wall rims are usually less
expensive and weaker. Double-wall rims tend to
be stronger and more expensive. Double-wall rims
may have a deep profile either to reduce aerodynamic
drag or for additional strength, especially in
the case of few spokes. |
