Cutting:

Only one cut-off wheel will do: the Dremel 545



then start cutting until it looks somewhat like this:



the x-cut on the inside is not for everyone, it gives a bit more “snap” at full-lock, most drivers will be happy with the +-cut on both the in and outside.


Insert:

Not really needed, but if reaction is to slow and traction is plentiful a touring insert will do the job just nicely ( the foam ones, not preformed / molded). There nice and low-profile and can be stretched to the size of the stagger-rib.


Mounting:

For most conditions, a narrow mount is best since this gives the most traction in the low speed corners. This is done by cutting the inside edge of the wheel away and just mounting the tire in the inner edge the (now) narrow rim. Sometimes the stagger will not fit the outer bead nicely, then it’s better to cut away part of the wheel than a part of the tire. ( see upper drawing of attachment )

For high grip conditions (new astro ) with very fast flowing lines it can be nicer to mount the stagger wide ( less grip, more control ). Than cut the wheel as the lower drawing of the attachment. Now the tire is mounted like an 1/8 tire. Be careful not to stretch the tire to much, than the middle of the tire will be become hollow.
