Aluminum can't be chrome ? Well I guess steel then since that can be chrome

need to see a pic of the girder; do you know who made it? oh.. and the wheel ya got now; can you just swap bearings to fit the 5/8" axle?

For a quick, cheap solution (but with a slightly wider rim) you could use any '00 - up HD narrow glide, ball bearing wheel, with adapter sleeves for the ID of the bearings.

I realized in the chopper market if someone gets it before you, you're screw so I had to pull the trigger on this one

I find deep groove metric ball bearings with 3/4" ID and 5/8 ID easily for springer and girder swaps, so don't worry much about adapting whatever wheel ya got, or get, to fit a 5/8" axle - one example: 6203-2RS-5/8" Sealed Ball Bearing 0.625" x 40mm x 12mm, $10; https://www.bearingscanada.com/6203-...-id-5-8401.htm
You can even go 16mm ID = 0.6299" with a 16mm axle if the axle holes in the girder are pounded a bit from use. I did that for my brand new Jammer springer to make the axle a tight fit in the rockers, then threaded the ends of the axle to 5/8 UNF threads.Last edited by TriNortchopz; 08-05-2019 at 11:52 PM.
