  2. Whoa! That second one looks really cool. Like riding a basketball.

    I was standing in the park wondering why frisbees get bigger as they get
    closer. Then it hit me.

  3. The second photo is of the "Big Boa Drag Tire" found on the new Schwinn
    'Sting Ray' (http://www.schwinnstingray.com). The FAQ claims it's 20" X
    4.25".

    Don't know if they sell the tire/tube/rim separately in stores. Probably
    could special order one.

  4. the 1st one is interesting to me since its a true 3 inch tyre in the 20"
    inch rim size instead of the small 19" trials rims. it would be slightly
    bigger in diameter with the same amount of volume as a Monty but you
    wouldnt feel like such a gerble in a wheel.

    the 145mm cranks that flood the trails market would be less likely to
    smack the ground like on the 19's and more speed is good too.

    other than using a 24 inch fork, i dont think there is a production fork
    that will fit this tyre though.

  6. I just finished a real 20" project with a 3" tire.

    It is mounted in a Torker DX 24" frame with 150mm splined cranks/48
    spoke combo. The brand of tire is a 20g, which is an actual 3" in
    width. It is a slick. The same company makes the Hoggy g which is a 24"
    x 3" tire.

    I haven't got pic.'s yet. Maybe next week.
