Cannondale, is this where you saw those upper white wheels?

ok so i have the rear skid all apart and these wheels dont want to come off.
i cant see a clip or anything holding them, think its just rust but they dont want to budge!!
think i moved one a 1/16" driving it from oposite side with a screwdriver.
going to go back out there with a BFH.

The bearing is pressed on there real good. There is a circlip to take the wheel off the bearing but in your case you are putting new wheels on so you are not worried about breaking the wheels.
I ended up breaking one of my wheels getting it off also.

Hey Cannondale, the dealer did not know about white wheels, the 2011 or 2012 RTX (not sure what year but it had a knob on the rear shock for adjustment) they have on the floor had the same black wheels as my 09. Not sure what is up?

white wheels are not available. stock wheels are black. bearings are pressed on to the shaft. changed all of my wheels this fall, and it was needed too. don't want to trash the skid.

I bought kimpex wheels 7" diameter...
They were made for a 6205 brg which measures 15x25x52mm.
I got the wheel machined for 6006 brg which measures 13x30x55mm.
This 55mm machining process "eats" up the previous snap ring grooves(nice!).
Then because the bearing is 13mm wide you must do the following:
Bear in mind the snap rings are 2.0mm wide(6006) rather then 1.5mm wide(6205)..
So in the bottom of the hole go deeper by 1mm, then I did a snap ring groove there - installed one snap ring, then 13mm up added another 2mm snap ring groove..(by the way make diameter for snap ring groove 58mm.
Make interference about 10-12 thousands of an inch(so the 55m - 0.010-0.012".
Now I got rubber wheels with still thicker meat than stock!
Machine is studed..and got 83mph(over reving at 12,200) with Ulmer air box - will re-clutch - should do 88-90mph!(GPS)

Were you able to chuck them in a lathe for this?If so thats my next wheels!Thanks.

too late. im stuck with plastic.
guess i need to pick up a lathe.

Hi guys!
Here's the scoop, the best way to do these is to bore the plastic wheel at 55mm straight through..reason is the following:
1) If you put the snap ring on the inside(towards the shock) the wheel comes off nice once you release the snap ring. But the beveled spacer will hit the edge wheel(I had to cut this off)...this is the spacer which keeps the wheel from coming off it's location...
2) You could turn the wheel around to save the machining - but then the wheel won't come off without cutting it - cause the plastic shoulder from the wheel entraps the bearing...
So the solution is easy - bore it straight through at 55mm for the 6006 bearing - then center the bearing and install snap ring groove each side of bearing to hold bearing..otherwise use my previous post for the details..

Thanks Grunter.Looks like your solution is best out there till someone decides to make a wheel for us.
