    why would you lock your helmet to your front wheel?

    is my thread called "look people i lock my helmet to my wheel" ?
    its bcoz thats the only place i can leave it. it dont fit in the seat and i cant take it into school i jus pray evry day that someone isnt smart enough to undo the screw and pull it off.
    but back to the point would i be able to put the runner bits on

    I'm not 100% sure, but try fitting the runner rear wheel on the front of your ZIP, I'd imagine you'd have to take the mudguard off to do it though.
    I think you'll find the front wheel from the runner pretty much redundant and the front and rear ZIP wheels are both 5 bolt mounting.

    Why dont you hand the helmet in at the office
    Its better than putting it on and finding it wet because a dog marked it
    or a car sprayed on it

    What do you do if it rains

    why would bigger wheels mess it up? its not even the wheels im 2 bothered about but if anyone has ever ridden a ped with 1 fork they will know how shit they are.
    my 70s kit nd jet box has just arrived but i havent got any1 to fit it at the moment.
    anyone who could do it PM me nd let me know how much u want

    yeh zip 100cc forks will fit for sure as they are from a zip(duhhh)

    but im not saying trying to put the gilera runner forks isnt worth a try...

    im sure the front end will sit higher though as gilera runner forks seem a little longer?
