Hello All ,

I need a stronger clutch centre spider to fit my Rapido 250 motor it will be going into a MB Developments crown wheel probally with a readspeed 5 plate clutch . I know the obvious would be to purchase the MB clutch spider but I can't quite stretch to it money wise at the moment can anybody suggest an alternative ? Motors spec is nothing radical Rapido 250 , BGM pipe ! BGM Stator and flywheel , 30mm dellerto with LTH reed valve .

Many thanks

I was looking at a Scootopia one at the weekend. They looked good. Worth checking out?

Atomic spider was too short for my MBD crownwheel. Check it if you go down that route.

Sorry I should have been more clear - the base of the spider didn't protrude from bottom of the sprocket. It would have locked up if tightened down.

ah yes i had this with the tino crown wheel but it was only slightly short , i removed a small amount from the crown wheel centre to stop it locking up.
