Hello all;
I'm looking to going to a rear 24" with a 3" wide tire. Also looking at a 90 degree bent fork springer for the front, but staying with the 26" wheel.
This is the bike this stuff is going on;
I believe it's circa mid '90's. Definitely department store purchased. For $40.00 CAD, I'm not complaining.
I'm thinking a 3" tire might be a bit much, but do you guys know of a more rounder profile 3" brand tire?
Please excuse my newbiness, but regarding my choice of front fork;
Are these bent springers designed to give the appearance of a longer, lower stance without actually lowering?
I realize the install of one of these 90 degree bent springers does have an affect on the handling/geometry. My concern lies with the 170mm cranks currently on my bike. Will there be any pedal scraping issues when teamed with my 24" rear wheel choice?
A few question, I know and I have a few more, but this'll do for now.
Anyone?
