Twisted spokes are common decoration trick for bicycles. Never seen a MC with that done to it though, there's discussions all over the net about pros and cons for usage on bicycles. Donno if I would run it on an MC though, gotta be a bitch to lace.
OK, anyone help me with the correct tyres to order?
I understand it's 2.75
18 on front and 3.00 18 on the back.
I'm trying to replicate what's on the pic down there bottom...
So what should I order?
Local website for the agent is here:http://www.bits4bikes.co.nz/ab4btyres/shinko-streetcruiser-tyres/2690.aspx
As I'm told the tyres are Shinko 712
Can I get the same for back as front without huge mod to the front guard? Rear guards removed so that's not an issue. I really wanting for the oversized look as a lot of bobbers have (apart from the Shinkos are meant to be excellent winter tyres)
I would bet if you took the brake, sprocket mount and spacer off the back you could slip it in the front with the 300 tire and get the front axle to ease on through to test fit clearances no?
Even the m45 2.75 18 is a tight fit. It is a few mm wider than the original tyre which is labelled as 2.75 18. So with the standard guard you won't have an option of going any bigger. And it has been posted elsewhere that you need to keep the guard as it is structural. Others have found that if they run the bike as pictured, with no guard, the forks move around! I guess you could get a fork brace made up to replace the front guard and make sure that has clearance for a bigger tyre. Others will be able to comment on how big a tyre the rim may be able to take safely.
