Re: SIP rims

Thanks for that advice corrado,looks like i will be getting kart nuts, i've never liked the sip nuts and nord lock washer idea and it means i don't have to worry about nylock nuts.

Re: SIP rims

Think i will stick to nylocks and washers (£3 for 100 at Toolstation) for split rims,use once and then as a normal nut after.

Re: SIP rims

Studs are the same but with longer threads,riding the special at moment with long studs in rear hub and split rims for past 18 months,waiting for existing tyres to wear out then put sips on.
