Ricardo Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Is there a generally accepted best diameter steering wheel or should I with the current steering wheel diameter? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drB Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 i think the normal Momo item is 260mm, if you're still struggling for leg room then you could go for a flat bottomed 'D' shape one... i guess you could get smaller kart steering wheels? or just cut a button off your shirt and attach that instead 😬 Action! in Orpington, Bromley Pageant and Keevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted July 5, 2004 Author Share Posted July 5, 2004 Thanks for that will try the D - shape for thunder thighs or fat b*****ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Momo are available down to 250mm. The one Caterham supply is indeed 260mm. What's best depends on what ratio rack you have, what size front wheels, how sticky they are presumably, what the castor angles are, how much effort you're prepared to put into steering etc etc. All that aside I run a 250mm wheel, 7 inch front slicks and a 22% rack and am more than happy with the steering effort required and the feedback it gives me. Not sure about D shaped wheels, are they legal for motrosport? There's something in the blue book about wheels, on second thought think it just says the rim must be continuous so those drag race wheels with the top cut away are not allowed.
