I have laced a couple of 10's and they are a bit of a pain. I got them real close to true. As the wheels get bigger they get easier to lace and true up so your 12 should be 20% easier. lol

lol, they're ok, they're definately not an excel or anything, but they work and are close.....no problem beading up tt91's or bt601ss's....

I got a cyclone rim 12 x 2.15 and laced it up in a matter of minutes. No problems and it trued better than a stock wheel. Still going strong on it.

i laced the 10" earlier this week, and it turned out better than i expected. first thing i noticed when it came out of the box was that cosmetically, it doesnt look quite as good as say the BBR rims (not to mention excels). although not perfect, it spins much smoother than many aftermarket rims ive used in the past that have the big lump where the ends are welded, even though there is a slight hiccup at the seam. getting my tt91 to bead up was no problem at all. unfortunately i wont get to see how well it works on a track until friday.

Where do you ride in San Antonio? I'm born and raised in Seguin.

wow, small world.

as far as mini motard goes, there is a gocart track at bergstrom airport in south austin that allows minibikes and pocketbikes the first friday of every month. thats about all there is in south/central texas at the moment. we are wanting to work something out with a new kart facility over near schertz (1604/35), but we'll see how that goes.

As for the 12 in wheels you need to contact Cam at www.mmracing.biz he deals with more 12's than anyone in the country. And for racing in Texas you can check with www.cmraracing.com they have Texas covered from minis to monsters.
