[QUOTE="davidd, post: 115188, member: 1177"] The Burns & Wright bike has two aluminum rims. Most Lightnings did, although the rims could be of two different makes. The Factory did supply high tensile steel rims. These were usually noted on the Works Order Form in some way and seem to be special order for sidecar work or if the purchaser felt the steel rim would be more suitable. I don't know what tire pressures they ran for speed work. I always ran the maximum allowable pressure to keep the tires cool. Somewhere around 60 lbs. I am sure they followed the manufacturer's instructions. The H57 sprocket adapter for replacing the brake drum was available for Lightnings. This allowed the use of smaller sprockets for very high speeds. David [/QUOTE]
