[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 50555, member: 3287"] Before going to sea I was using ribbed WM1 20" front and GP WM2 19" rear, changing rear every two to four thousand miles, always felt squiggly but secure as rim I think was too narrow for tire, then swopped the front wheel for an ally WMI 21" which always felt better, Now running WM3 rim ? 21" front 90x90 and WM4 rim 18" rear 400 with Avon Distanzia on their recommended rim size, recently they have dropped the 400 size but do a 410. 5mm wider can I get it in !or the next change ? I like the 10.5 mm tread as the present one has done 8k+ and still good for another 2k minimum. Thats on the "B" banana bike. The "A" is the same on the front WM3 x 21" and WM2 3.50 x 19" rear want to reduce to 18" and the bigger tyre but chain/chain guard is almost touching now ! Any tried an 18" on the rear of an "A" bananaman [/QUOTE]
