Modifying the rear-end of a Trailrider
Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about getting a mud/dirt tire on the back-end of a Trailrider ?
Since one isn't available in the stock 3.5 X 10 size, I'm thinking of putting in another rear wheel as close to stock as possible, yet giving the option of having a good, agressive, dirt/mud tread. I wouldn't have any problem in changing or lengthening the rear fork or swingarm and in changing holes for the axle, and it appears that the machine would tolerate a slight misalignment of sprockets. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas on this, I would appreciate hearing from you.

2.5x10 knobby.
http://www.americanmototire.com/cata...th=265_276_280 That site has been real good for me too. If you look around more you may find the size you want or call them up and see if they can help find a 3.5 knobby. Allen

Thanks, Allen, they said on their site that they do not have a phone number, one must instead contact them by e-mail, and that is a hassle with me, prefering to speak with a live person, but if I have to jump through their hoops in order to get a suitable tire, then so be it.

Never tried to call them. Email may work good though.
