El Cristoff Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 i have a 24" high roller in 2.7, amazingly grippy, but you need a frame that can take a 2.7 tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Trials Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Depends what width of rim you have too, if it's too narrow for the tyre it will fold it and then it's pointless. You can pretty much get away with it on the front (as I have managed so far) but on the rear I'd rather keep the tyre profile square. Also, I'm sure you are aware, the bigger the tyre the heavier. This is also true for the softer the compound. You just got to play around with different setups until you find what you are happy with. If you can spare the cash give it a try, experiment with different pressures and so on and see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
