I recently bought a kart with a 40mm axel but I want to swap it to a 50mm axel. Will a set of 50mm bearings and and 50mm disk/sprocket carriers do the trick? or will I have to buy a different set of bearing carriers at 50mm.
More just chasing info on if its actually doable or if frames and bearing carriers between different axel diameters aren’t standard TIA
Just change bearings, and carriers
I’d just measure the distance on the carriers on the chassis to make sure a 50mm fits
We sometimes changes between 40 and 50 on our classic karts
The outside diameter of 50mm and 40mm axle bearings is 80mm, so the carrier should work for either bearing.
