Greg Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Hi Does anyone know where i can get hold of some proper full disc racing wheels for my pogona, also if anyone happens to know will disc wheels work with the standard pogona fork? Thanks Greg Quote
king_of_the_sky Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 um im not sure but i dont think they will fit on the forks but coast guard do libre ones that hav the same size bolts i think Quote
Greg Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Posted April 4, 2004 yep your right the forks are too small, now this is going to be tricky, it is the same amount of money to either upgrade the pogona to the standard i want, or to buy a iguana and put 1 upgrade on it. This is going to take a lot of thinking... Quote
Muttley Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 having looked at the picture of a pogona on cameleons' web site, i doubt that disks will fit on the standard forks my iguana has much longer forks to accommodate disks... http://mysite.freeserve.com/muttleyimages/images/1-picture2.gif but i still had to make custom spacers for the front and buy bigfoot bolts for the rear as they are quite a bit wider than barrow wheels [edit] sell the pogona & buy a real buggy [/edit] Quote
Muttley Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 easier said than done at £770 plus £285 for the disks but seriously, i wouldnt bother with disks unless you only buggy on grass and compact sand i dont regret buying mine for one minute but do regret selling my atv's as i cannot play on the soft stuff http://mysite.freeserve.com/muttleyimages/images/5-picture1.jpg Quote
king_of_the_sky Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 well if i wanted a iguana (which i do but not very likly ill have to settle for a pogona) thyen iwould need to save up 570 quid then sell my special for 200, not outa reach but depenbds on how much time that'll leave me to get sum BF's and such before the next season Quote
Muttley Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 keeps your eyes peeled on this forum... i bought mine for under £500 & it had only been used a couple of times a m8 of mine bought an identical one for a similar price 6 months later the trouble is, things are rarely for sale when you want one; then, just when you've splashed out on something else, half a dozen come up at the same time Quote
king_of_the_sky Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 well ive seen 3 pogona's (ever) for sale thats what ive seen im not saying thats al ltheres been in say the last 2-3 yrs and ive not noticed any iguanas (yet ) and 3 libre full races, so best work towards a new one that way if one cuomes up ill hav spare £££ but ive just got (well about to) another job as a lifeguard so i should be gettin around 200 a month in skool time so i guess its not to far outa reach. only time will tell Quote
kiting mad Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 bit of camber on those disks muttly corr! Quote
Muttley Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 http://mysite.freeserve.com/muttleyimages/images/1-picture1.gif yeah... 15 degrees camber & 5 degrees toe in [cough] doesn't seem to affect the handling but it looks good Quote
kiting mad Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 my dads gettin disks soon so ill nick his big foots see him ploughing though all that soft sand lol Quote
NotaHuwjars Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 237euro plus shipping for a set of three. http://www.buggywielen.nl They also supply extended bolts and are probably the cheapest even with shipping. Incidently, could you not just make up a set of extension plates to provide additional clearance for the front disk? Two plates of stainless should be a touch cheaper than a new front end! Good luck Quote
Greg Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Posted April 4, 2004 i would just buy a iguana but the thing is i have only had the pogona for a little while and i live at least a couple of hours away from the nearest beach so all i will be seeing is grass..., my problem is that to get the same spec buggy it would be the exact same amount of money as if i was to buy a new iguana... thanks for the help but this is going to take a lot of hard thinking...

8015 Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Don't Cameleon have some second hand buggies on their website? Obviously they will be on the continent, but you could make a good excuse for camping by some huge hard beach in France, or Belgium, or Denmark or...., to break it in after you collect it JIM Quote
Greg Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Posted April 4, 2004 could be a idea... NotaHuwjars, which one am i supposed to be looking at as the translator wont traslate most of it and i dont speak a word of , well i dont quite know what language it is to tell you the truth. Do you know what it all means? Quote
8015 Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 It's dutch, single but could be double for all it means to me Good luck interpreting! JIM Quote
Greg Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Posted April 4, 2004 ok well i have been told that it is dutch ( i was looking at something about trailer wheels), does anyone know where you can get the type with spokes i usualy see ones with gold rims does anyone know where to find them? Quote
king_of_the_sky Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 do a search on google for dutch translation then go on the 1st link, on the page scroll down a bit and click on the link thats summin like : go to online translation, then put the URL in and choose the language form and to and there u go Quote
NotaHuwjars Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 Greg, I find the Dutch really helpful if you email them. Most of them can speak English and as mention in other replies there are translators online. If memory serves, the gold rimmed spoked wheel used to be made or supplied by a site called Trevorsbuggystuff based in the Southwest. I'm sure someone out there knows the new name. These wheels used to made for grasstrack sidecars I think and look fantastic with or without the disk covers however they weren't cheap. Good luck Quote
Greg Posted April 5, 2004 Author Report Posted April 5, 2004 i will try to find the trevorsbuggystuff website but cameleon has recomended i speak to someone called Trevor Miles, any clues who he is? Quote
rayens Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 Same thing mate - Trevor has loads of stuff. If you do a search on here in For Sale he often has his website address Quote
Greg Posted April 5, 2004 Author Report Posted April 5, 2004 oh right i didnt realise it was the same person... do you know his username? i have e-mailed him so i am just waiting for a reply now... so does everyone think i should go for the iguana? is it really that much better than the pogona? Quote
kiting mad Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 i will try to find the trevorsbuggystuff website but cameleon has recomended i speak to someone called Trevor Miles, any clues who he is? he like supplys most wheels or somthink my dad knows him Quote
Zotty Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 does anyone know where you can get the type with spokes i usualy see ones with gold rims does anyone know where to find them? as far as i'm aware they are motorcross sidecard wheels dude.. do look very nice but will need to put covers over em to stop A peeps getting caught in em... B footpegs/poles/trees getting stuck in em and damaging em.. also remember as they are bike wheels with spokes they will buckle on a good bang so would need true'ing after a half decent OBE .. when i had my fullrace i had a hours play on some discs and was great fun on the grass,, much easier to get rolling,and loads more grip on turns ,,untill it raind :D Greg 1 Quote
