Tire Size Information

[dank]

This link goes to a great tire size chart. It is information from the Yahoo VN1600 group site. I don't know who compiled it, but it gives tire options, the sizes to order, and the diameter so you have an idea how you will be changing the setup of the bike. Take a look. Trip, you might consider adding the info to the Nomad FAQ section.

You have to join the group in order to see the chart? ???

Checked out the chart, pretty cool. Now, I know this was discussed before, so if you need to, direct me to the old thread. Which is the best type on the rear and the best type on front? I'm talking about bias, poly-bias, etc.

You have to join the group in order to see the chart? ???


It's an Adobe Reader PDF file... give it a minute to load.... make sure you have Adobe Reader on your pc... I think you can download it for free if you don't.... http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

I sent the file to Trip by e-mail. I couldn't figure out how to put the file in the thread. Hopefully he can post it in one of the general info sections of the site. It answers many questions that are repeatedly asked here.
