190 tires and circles
i have a couple 190's layin around with good tread on em... any disadvantages to running them on a rim ment for a 180?
i know its possible cuase ive done it before but not before i could do circles. does it change how they feel?

Re: 190 tires and circles
Running a 190 on my F4i, I can lean the bike over further on circles and it gives me more grip, but for straight line stuff it'll give me more of a wobble. Makes sense because if you look at the cross-section of the rim and tire, running a 190 series will give you more an edged tip to run on rather than a rounded flat surface. Basically, you're squishing a fatter tire on the same size (width wise) rim making the tire pancake giving you a triangle shaped tip to ride on.

What it does is pull the tire out wider and give you a wider contact while going straight. If you run a 190 on a 5.5 the tire is going to be more peaky than if it was on a 6.0. I like the 180 on the 6.0 rim. Just kinda sucks once it gets worn out because it's harder to lean it into the circle but goes straight really easy.

Re: 190 tires and circles
you can only run the fat bars if they are fat lik zuchini's and you nail fat chicks with them while pulling your foot over into podium. however this can be bypassed if you knock the popcorn out of ONE young unsuspecting man's hand. anymore than that and its mousetrap for sure
