backspacing

PostPost by: elancoupe » Fri Aug 06, 1999 12:26 am

This is a seemingly simplistic question, but what is the CORRECT way to
measure wheel backspacing? Can someone provide the correct backspacing
numbers for standard 13-4.5 wheels, as well as 13-5 Panasports?
BTW, all the rack info is interesting. A few years ago, Bean sold me a "new"
rack for my Elan,claiming it to be a bolt in installation. No rack stops,
wrong tie rods, ergo, standard Triumph rack. Bean says, just change the
stops and tie rods over. I took both racks apart, the Triumph rack had a
larger internal rack, so the stops would not fit. The tie rods were worn, so
why change them over? So the rack went back and I ate shipping twice.
Sorry, just one of those bad flashbacks.... Anyway, I still would like to
know more of this "quickrack", and if it will work.
