can i remove the spindel and use this as a rear wheel for a trike bike with a rear axel?

only if the other wheel of the trike is the drive wheel... to the best of my knowledge, the hub for wheel this is not setup to receive a drive gear. I was going to use this for a trailer and one option I considered is removing the spindle and installing a long axle between the two wheels. that much is doable for sure.

Yup. I assume your bike has a flip-flop hub, just take your wheel off and toss it on the other side.

the axle diameter has to be 5/8 inch, which sounds big for a tricycle. Also I doubt that the tricycle axle would be long enough to go clear through the hub of this wheel. I had to order a new longer axle to fit my application. My old axle was 5/8 but not long enough.

I don't think so....has to have a place to be inserted...you would have to check the trike

Hi, Julie. No, the pedals that come with the bike will not let you use a spin shoe.

There would be no way. The engine is way to heavy and also the torque from the engine would probably bend or break the back Spokes, unless u do some crazy HD back Wheel upgrade . good luck

I think so. Doesn't work as well on a bike with gears so a trike should be fine.

If there is a nut and bolt available to attach the connection mechanism which usually goes on the rear wheel bike axle. But I do not know if it can handle that much speed.

NO, the tire or you insert the rear tire or front tire the upright bar that is tentioned with a spring will not permit the tire or wheel to spin free.If you like to hook up the tire so you can free wheel the rear wheel there is a so call Bike stand excercise, that you also can find in Amazon.com. The rear axle is clamped on it's center shaft and the tire will roll on a roller.Hope to have given you your answer.Rgds.Myron

You would definitely not want to try and use the rear wheel version on a trike. The front wheel version might work OK on relatively flat roads, but so much of a trike's weight is on the back wheels that I doubt it would be satisfactory while trying to go up much of a hill.

I can not answer this question, it is necessary to remove the wheel and alienate it from the base

Off hand I will say yes, assuming that your current crankset is of comparable value and the spindle is of the square, tapered type. I can be more helpful if you tell me what your current crankset is and from what bicycle.

I'd say no. the wheel holders are adjustable left to right for different sizes of bikes, but they are not adjustable fore and aft, which is what you would need for a trike. You could try a bike rack that holds bikes by the top tube, like a Hollywood Express, and fit the trike with a "cross bar adapter." That way, you hold the bike by the frame, not the wheels.

Hi, Yes you can. I believe you can backplane and backplane again.Hope this helps. I run 3 spindals, 2 solid state hybrids, and 2 solidstates. Have a good oneJim

Certainly - although this seat is a victory of comfort over support, so I'd try it only after / if your existing seat gave you a problem. Also, make sure your spin bike can facilitate aftermarket seats.

the seat had a standard mounting bracket, which is like a standard bicycle seat post. If the spinning bike has a standard seat post should have no problem.

You would need an appropriate wrench as it does not have the quick release spindle. I purchased one for about $20 from a local bike shop.
