Title: Rim question
Post by: topflight36 on October 17, 2007, 10:18:41 PM
How do I find out my lug pattern. I have a Roketa and want to know how to figure out what size bead locks to buy. I take it that you messure from hole to hole cross rim. But if that is correct then what part of the holes do I messure to. Thanks for your help guys.

You measure from center to center.

Measure from center of the holes across the center of the rim. Take that measurement in inches then multiply it by 25.88mm.
EX:4 1/4 inches across  centers on a 4bolt pattern would be 4.25 x 25.88mm=109.99 or round up of course & it is a 4/110 pattern.

I hope this helps. You can also go to recreation tire wheel website & print off bolt patterns , cut them out & try them on your wheel. My way is perfect & easier.

4/110 is all honda/suzuki sportquad rear wheels I beleive.

Another example Honda/Suzuki front wheels on sport quads are 4/144 pattern.
These wheels measure just a little over 5.5" across centers.
ex:5.5" x 25.88mm = 142.34 round to nearest pattern & you get 4/144.

green thanks for the examples. Now the question is what are some cheap bead locks. I Dont need the best. I will be racing this bike in quad scrambles So I just want something better then stock rims I think. Or should I put my money somewhere else right now. The bike is stock. Thanks for your help guys
