New tires needed
#28
(10-25-2016, 09:04 AM)ryanschillinger_imp Wrote: My bike is really for just cruising and commuting. I don't drag the pegs or anything. So the 130 front wouldn't be compatible with the wheel? Or it's a lack of clearance? I have a while before I need to worry about tires but would like to have an idea what to buy when the time comes. I guess I could get out there and measure.
Usually one size up is sort of OK, but two sizes, that's a pretty big jump. What happens is the tire has to be squeezed on to the rim, which is really too narrow to properly support the larger tread area. So you end up with a tire much taller in profile than it should be. I'd just stick with the stock size for the front, you don't wanna be the lab rat there, lol.
