Considering increasing the rollout on the race bike by putting on a taller rear tire.
Currently using a 110/80 18 Avon that is shaved.
The tallest tire I can find (so far) is a 110/100. However a 4.00/18 seems to be taller according to some sites.
The 4.00 /18 is a 1.00 aspect and my math sez 4.00" = 101.6 mm. So we would have 101.6/100 in metric. That should have a smaller circumference than a 110/100.
So, how wide will fit? The 110 fits. I dunno about a 120. The rear brake link is already mounted on the outside of the front mounting tab. I spoze I could shim it out a bit...
Whatcha thinks?
