I want to flip the front tires on my warrior to gain a few inches of width. The only problem is that the valve stems will hit the calipers, whats involved in relocating them to the opposite side of the rim?

The discs will still be protected by the rim, is there any other risk in doing this?

Also if i flip the back tires for the same purpose i know this increases the risk of bending the rear axel on impact, but how much so? Can i still take moderatly big jumps? Is the warrior known to have an inherrantly weak axel?

Thank you

 

i don't think you HAVE to relocate the stems...there are shorter stems (racing) that you can use to replace the stocks...they should clear the disc's.

Your weight is going to be a factor regarding flipping the rears...but, if your between 150-190 you should be fine hitting jumps up to 3-4ft. I jump with wheel spacers and have been for 2 years with no problems on a stock Axle.

i bent my raptors axle the first month.

 

Go with the Flush Mount Valve Stems. I picked up mine through JC Whitney for like $20 all together. Its alot better than drilling new holes.
