Motocross racing sidecar measurements.

Post by John Wolverson »

On a full size outfit the toe in should be 2 inches = 50mm, measured from the wheel spindle (spoke nipple, or centre of the wheel rim) on the front and rear wheel out to a straight edge down the outer edge of the sidecar wheel. The camber (lean in) of the sidecar wheel is about 3 to 5 degrees. The sidecar lead over the rear wheel about 16 inches = 400mm. On a small child's outfit just scale these measurements down.
If you require any more help, my e-mail address is johnnywolvo@aol.com
