Title: Rims
Post by quentin99 on 06/02/14 at 09:41:28

So I need to get new tires for my bike. But I want a fatter back tire. What rims can you put on the bike that are a direct bolt up replacement?

I think if you search, you'll find that 150 is the widest you can go w/out converting to chain.

Even then finding a bolt on wheel is next to impossible.
But you might find a rim that's usable. c50 or c90 maybe.

So I can put a 150 on my current rim?

I believe someone has, you'll have to search to find what he said, maybe it hits the belt or not much clearance or whatever.

You are aware that a fatter rear tire = less wonderful handling, right? It makes tight cornering a little harder, or so Ive heard..

Hmmm interesting. I thought it would give you more grip thus netter cornering.

Check with WD, he's the footpeg dragger on the list. I'm sure he's got some good tire advice.

Fat tires give a smoother straight line ride. They also reduce your lean angle, making tight turns or mountain sweepers a lot more work. And the extra weight increases your stopping distance.
