'05 DX tire

Jaredownby 25 February 2005 16:34:30
 
Ok, I have searched the threads and can't find an exact answer. I just
bought a 2005 torker DX 20". I would like to put a larger tire on it
than the 2.125 that it comes with, but without having to replace the rim
or anything like that. If I understand correctly, the new DX has a
wider frame to accommodate a larger tire. I tried to email Torker but
couldn't. I would like to get a 2.5" trials tire something like the
luna. I have read that the 2004 model came with a different size tire
than needed for the Luna, but does the '05 come with a different one
that might allow for the Luna? Any help is appreciated...(and yes, this
is my first posting so thanks for the help).

Jared

No, a trials tire would not work, since trials tires fit only on special
rims. These rims are designed to be used with the trials tires, and are
smaller in diameter. You have one of the larger, true 20 inch rims. It
would be too large for a trials tire.

Is there a tire larger than the 2.125 available in the US for the true
20" rim?

To my knowledge, the best you can do for a fatter tire for that rim is
either a very slick Big Apple or a very agressive knobby Kenda
Kinetics.

The 20" Kenda Kinetics and Big Apple are both 2.35"

Not to my knowledge. A trials tire is available for the 20 rim, but I've
never seen one in the US. Me and my friends used to use the Maxxis Max
Daddy though, and it was OK at 2.25 (methinks) and knobby.

'Here' (http://tinyurl.com­/4xuyw) There is a 2.20 trhat has a trialish
tread on it, and a lower duro than most bmx tires. You aren't going to
find any bigger than that.

I saw a "Chopper" at Walmart with a 20" x 3" Fireball like tire that has
West Coast Choppers in white letters on it.

stupid k-rad 2.125 and im sick of it.

website.

Is that an -okay- trials ish tire?im sure it would be better than what
i've got.



I think there was a thread about someone(elmer?)conv­erting a 20"dx into
a true trials w/ a 19" rim and mod tire.I think he said itd cost around
$150.
