TheMunn Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Evening whiteboy, for your front wheel personally I would just lace it up 3x both sides. Done that with all my wheels and they are fine, also gives better torsional stregth. Not sure about drilling or hub spacing so onto tyres, when I rode stock I used a syncros bht on the rear and a dmr moto digger on the front. The syncros was an awesome tyre, I had the 2.5 which is big and heavy so your best off getting the 2.35, I never pinched the tyre and had it for over 6 months good use and it was still good when I took it off my bike. Also the dmr on the front was nice, gave good bounce and didn't pinch either in the whole time I had it, the wear rate was really good on this aswell, still got loads of tread on there. Break from the norm and don't buy maxxis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
