Default Brock nosewheel fork

Hi
Ive just recieved a brock nosewheeel fork and I've got an azusa 4inch wheel which wont fit, it's too wide. Can I machine the inside of the wheel halves to narrow the hub or go for a narrower tyre. Anyone got any ideas??

You need to use a smaller wheel. Just buy a wheel-tire combo at a tool supply, lawn mower shop etc. I think the wheel width is 2.50"

Or you can spend big bucks and get an aircraft tail wheel.

buying the good year tire is cheaper. but yes the hub can be machine . This is how KB do it to bring his normal tire package to the light weight version. thinner walls.
