Yep 18 inch rear wheel.  Run a Maxxis desert with tubliss at 5psi.
Works great in the desert, never had a flat.  Great everywhere but long stretches of mud.

Which in the desert is not often.  Hope to start break in tomorrow.

MOHAVE......good to hear from you.  Been a long time since our last ride.  Glad to see that Blaster and the Moustache got their paws on your engine.  You won't be disappointed.  I ended up moving back to Los Angeles.  How you been?
I once heard my buddy Bill ask Danny Hamel after a race....
