Ok, changing tires. How high can I go?

Gasoline · 01-06-2008, 08:23 AM

Now I don't have the original tires on and the size is (backtire) 4.00 / 18 and I see it's exactly what the backfork? can handle. But there are approx 2 cm adjustment I can do to, backwards. So my question, can I put on a 4.50 / 18 on it?

Anyone tried that?

I put a 120/90-18 and that's about as big as you can go. Check the parts thread.

That equates to about 4.7 inches so you can probably fit a 4.5 tire.

Thank you for the answers, I got a wheel, exactly the same measures as the original one but with better quality, probably from an endurobike, perhaps honda..

The measure of the tire that's on it has 4.60 / 18 and what you sais means I can use that. Will try it as soon as I get out to the workshop again.

I see now that is also sais 120/90 so I guess that's equal to 4.60 / 18 but I'm gonna test it. The whell and tire is almost new, the tire is completely new and I got it in a part of another deal so..

Here we go winter

Maybe gonna change it later on, due to snow and ice, to a dubbed tire I got laying around.

Hoohaa, wheelchange tomorrow
