Motorbike Wheel Q....

Can anyone help... ???

Does the rear wheel of a motorbike rotate around the spindle, or does the spindle rotate with the wheel and their joint rotational load is placed on the swing-arm???

Ta muchly!

A pint for the gent and a white wine/fruit based drink for the lady. Those are the rules

As above except any bike with a single sided swingarm then the wheel is fixed to the spindle which rotates on bearings eg ducati bmw honda vfr
