Awesome. That was an awesome video. Reminds me of my drag days.. (not too long back unfortunately). I purchased the oversized rim and had to spoke it away from the chain, as the tire would hit the chain. I did not use it long because I liked to do some trailish riding and had ZERO side ways traction. But it was AWESOME in the streight line. Again, congrats stomping of the king. :-)

Opps, correction. Going back and looking.... it was 3.5 inches...  :mrgreen: Anyhow, here is a pic of it installed on a old friends bike. He's the one who gave me the idea.

It was more expensive than it was worth and he did NOTHING but hill climbing. I tend to enjoy my freedom to slide and corner often, so it did me no good...except again in a streight line.  :-D

IIRC, 3.5" rims are the standard width of front supermoto wheels from Talon Engineering, the rears being 4.25-4.5". Gives you a far greater range of road tyre choices.
