Ah, those aluminum rims brings back wonderful memories of the Nova RTS's when new back in da day. I rembember when i be waiting for the B68 (Pre C40LF era) and an Nova RTS working the X29 would stop and i used to be in aw looking at the RTS with those rims along with the cool sounding engine. Also reminds when the Transit Novas were new @ UP depot and they had those rims, the bus looked so cool also the Novas seem faster and more powerful than the stinky ol GMC/TMC 6V92 RTS's (Don't get me wrong i REALLY liked the DD92 RTS better than the 50, but when i was younger i thought the novas with DD50 engines were cooler and faster). These photos brings back lots of good memories of the Novas, and these pics are nice BTW. |

Them chromers get super hot when you run your bus fast. I remember at the end of the line one night after a fast run on the M101 I decided to take a "personal" in the dark in the park.When it hit that wheel it sizzled and cooked! |

Also Hank them wheels would not come off for nothing when it came time to change the tires. Another unique quirk for NYC transit, like the Grummans.Mechanics told me they could not take them off with anything. They tried blowtorching them, machining them off, grease, and it was just too labor intensive. I personally loved them since the steel wheels get dirty and quickly lose the whitepaint on them. I hear that since the Hybrids use much less braking due to each of the wheels being a motor they are experimenting again with them. |

Plus the Brake Pads would wear out faster with the aluminum rims because of the over heating. NJT only uses aluminum rims on there MCI fleet since there more distance between stops give the pads time to cool off somewhat. Also on top of this the buses have transmission brakes as well to keep the from over heating. |

Not correct.Aluminum wheels dissipate heat faster than steel wheels, so if MTA's buses were having pad issues, it wasn't due to the wheel material. All of NJT's Flxible Metro Bs/Ds, Nova RTSes, and Neoplan artics were delivered with and still have aluminum wheels - it's not only the MCIs. All of the NABIs will use them as well. NJT hasn't taken delivery of a bus with steel wheels in over 20 years. Private companies receiving state buses have the option to change to steel if they wish (Academy does this). |

Are you serious, I ain't gotta do shit fam, I was just making a factual statement about the other Alcoa ALUMINUM rimmed buses in the fleet and you had to spout off like the little smart ass you are.And who said anything about it being a race? I actually wasn't the first to spot the Aluminum Rimmed buses in the city...FACT! You Feel Me? Oh and you must not read my other post when I respond to people's pics given them props (when it's due), so don't get all bootsie because I didn't razzle dazzle you by saying yours was the business! |

IIRC the reason the MTA did away with the Aluminum Rims back in the late 90s was due to the fact that the edges on thier rims were getting sharp and blowing out tires. |
