All tires that are simply called a 2.75X21, or 3.00X21, or 4.10X18 have a 92 percent aspect ratio. If you multiply the section width (3.00) times the aspect ratio (92%) You get 2 3/4 inches of tire above the rim. So, have you had it out on that gravel road again? We'd like to know if changing the fork height improved it any.
Thanks for clarification, also no not yet because I'm not home where I went riding on that trail with lose gravel and nearly fell (also forgot to mention I had a passenger with me when I went there don't know if that makes a difference) but when I go on that trail again as far as high speed it's stable and doesn't wobble like it use to.
