Okay, i'm planning out my next bike build and since I'm a novice, I have already run into a small problem. I'm planning on a 26x1.75 wheel up front and a 24x4 wheel out back. Can anyone suggest a tire brand that makes a tire in different sizes, but the treads match? Any help will be appreciated.

Hey guys, I just ordered my basman frame and it'll be here soon. The problems (allbeit my problem) I'm running into is that I want to run 26x4 wheels with 144 spokes and they don't exist. Does any body know if two 26" wheels could be tacked together and made sound to create this wheel either in...

Hey, is anyone familiar with dealers who carry basmans domestically? Or, has anyone dealt with chopperdome.nl? i don't mind paying the shipping cost but, i'm worried about getting ripped off. Any advice is welcomed advice. Ya boy.......
