Axys 9inch wheel kit - Canada

[shagsmc]

Looking to purchase a 9inch wheel kit for my 2019 850 SKS 146. Anyone know of any brands/stores selling these?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew.

I did a TKI kit for my sled - they sell the wheels and offset axle. I can post pics if you want. They make different colors for wheels and different designs.

Perfect, thanks for the reply.

I don't believe I need the offset axle because I went from an 8tooth driver to 7tooth so I need to take up the slack with the 9inch wheels.

 

[klarkkentster]

I'd double check - it's not about slack - it's about keeping the track in line with your Hyfax as it rounds the corner on the back.

itek..or tricked toys are canadian. and yes you need an offset axle

 

[shagsmc]

Can you post that pic? I'd like to see would probaly help me understand why id need the offset axle.

See attached - not sure it helps explain. If all you do is add dimension to the wheels - the track will drop 1" below hyrax at the rear. You need to offset your axle to raise your axle to for the larger wheels.

I now understand, this make sense thank you for your time and explanation. You helped me avoid an issue here.

Cool - glad it all worked out

 

[shagsmc]

I wonder if I can fit 10inch wheels back there....

 

[klarkkentster]

Tom at TKI stared 9 inches were max. For the Polaris. Didn’t ask why. Just ran with it. He’s a great dude and a great source of info. I went with his wheels and axle and also converted my 19 chain drive to a belt with his kit.

Any performance differences that you can tell with the 9inch wheels?

 

[klarkkentster]

I did mine mid season and have not rode it yet. Did a bunch of stuff to the sled to include clutching/chain conversion/exhaust and suspension so it will be gheard to put a finger on benefits….except it looks cool. During my research - I did get feedback from peeps on here and on Facebook about favorable results.

A buddy has billet aluminum axle wheels on his old Rev. Depending on snow conditions, it's constantly packing up, and therefore making the circumference of the wheel larger / tightening the track.
Anyone making aluminum wheels with rubber outer coating?

Companies used to, but there were problems with that, so they stopped.

If the alum wheels are beveled, that reduces the ice buildup.
I know my 10" Super easy/Pengilly wheels back in 2003 were beveled. Never had ice buildup.

In the early days they were also cutting a grove in the outer face and installing an O ring. That stopped the buildup.

Tony, Was the o ring groove in the outer Circumfrence? If so, that would be easy in my lathe before install.

Yes it was.

Iceage has their new hellfire wheel with replaceable UHMW 'tire'.
Currently only 8in but 9in is in the works this season.
These should prevent ice buildup while looking cool.
