are you trying to fit one on a torker? if so it'll prbly fit a 2.3-2.5 because i measured the gap to be 3" between the forks BUT if you insist on under 2.2 get a cheap-ass Kenda 1.95 for 13 bucks just ask ur local bike store -- ColDawG - Level 4 after 2 months Looking for MUni buddies! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ColDawG's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9503 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39693 |

measure the gap and see for yourself i think a 2.3 would be safe (specialized makes some of that size) 2.5 might work, i actually put my friend's trials wheelset in my LX frame and it was fine, although some say those 2.5" Monty trials tires aren't exactly 2.5 inches, but it fit w/ a pinch of clearance -- ColDawG - Level 4 after 2 months Looking for MUni buddies! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ColDawG's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9503 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39693 |

Which Torker do you have? CX, LX, DX, TX? Do you have a LBS with good selection or downhill shop in your area? Check what they have in stock. You may find a "narrower" downhill tire. A couple years ago when I was looking for tires for my stop-gap (before I got a real Muni) Schwinn Muni I found an Arrow Racing-HD at a downill shop that says 24x2.5 but it measures closer to 2.25 at the outside of the lugs. I googled but can't find current mention of the tire anymore though. 'This thread' (http://tinyurl.com/a49ct) has a pic of the tire next to a hookworm 24x2.5. -- UniBrier - Its Time to Ride Steve DeKoekkoek Hop Drop & Roll ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UniBrier's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1404 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39693 |

Well, I have a Torker DX but a 20 inch, and I was wondering the same thing UNIwolcott. What is the biggest Muni tire you can fit on one of those? -- thejuggler24 - Ride giraffes backwards ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thejuggler24's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7792 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39693 |

Count me in as wondering what the biggest tire is I can get on to my new torker LX. I'm just a beginner now- But I imagine the first thing I'm going to want to do as a stopgap to buying an actual MUni will be to throw a burly tire. There's always the WalMart 24X1.95 tire, but if I could go bigger, I would, just on principle... -- mboulanger - UniNoob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mboulanger's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9642 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39693 |

as i said earlier, i used a 1.95 but i just got that because i wore a hole (a few actually) through my LX stock tire in a couple of months, and then i got a KH '05 :-P It ROCKS so yeahh, get one of those as soon as possible (if you have the dough) also, a 2.5" monty or similar trials tire SHOULD fit fine in the LX frame (a 20" wheel), but, the rim would be too narrow to prevent foldover (it'll happen all the time) so either get a Muni, or get a trails wheelset to pop into ur torker frame -- ColDawG - Level 4 after 2 months Looking for MUni buddies! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ColDawG's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9503 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39693 |

I put a Kenda Kolossal on my Torker DX and it fits just fine. FYI I was screwing around with a friends uni and his Gazz fit in my frame perfect, no rubbing, it was pretty (expletive deleted) close though, but it worked -- The Yang - Unicyclist with Balls "I just rolled over my testicle" Tony J ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Yang's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9517 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39693 |
