  1. I was looking at the Torker DX and the note at the bottom of the page
    says frame can not accept a tire larger than 2.3 inches. Is this just
    for the older models or do the new ones have better tire clearance? I am
    baisicly asking if I can fit a 3 inch tire on the nw model.

  3. I know a 2.5 fits with plenty of space on hte sides. the only way to
    find out if ya can fit a 3.0 is to try if it doesnt yuni might be able
    to hold it.

  4. Well, a 2.6 wide gazz is pretty beefy anyway. But I guess if you just
    must have a mega-tire... :-)

    But,it wont fit well on the rim,right?It would technically work,its just
    not a good idea.

    exacly, it fits in the frame but a new rim is needed since the stock
    one is to thin for that wide of a tire.

  9. A friend of mine just put a 3.0 Gazz on his 05 Torker DX, but it's very
    easy to fold the tire. It fits, but a new rim would be good. Then you
    have to find a 24" 48 spoke rim. Halo sells a 48h Combat rim.
