[Tyre Size Through Maguras]

is your frame 4 bolt mounts? if so u shouldnt have a problem, because u will not have to use the braket it comes with. if you have got vee brake mounts you will have to use the braket on there, with a 2.5 tyre it should just fit but any other wider it wont fit.

I see. My frame has a V-brake mount, so I guess I'm limited to 2.5 inch. Many thanks for your swift reply.

As for tyre choice, I'm not really sure yet. I'm open to suggestions, if you know of something that would be good for a 26 inch wheel? I understand that Maxxis are popular.

[Tyre Size Through Maguras]

Evenin' all!

I'm new to riding bikes. I've decided to take up trials riding for something different, and I'm building up my bike at the moment. I've got most of the stuff done/coming but I have a tyre question. On the "Chain Reaction" website it states that the Magura brakes will take a 2.5 inch tyre. On here I've noticed people using 2.7 inch tyres through the Magura.

Can I go that high?

If it helps, my rear wheel is a 26 inch Alex DX32.

Please bear in mind that I am old, fat, and have no idea about anything to do with trials riding. I'm here to learn!

Many thanks in anticipation,

Gringo.
