dannytrialskid Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Ok basically I a fat tyre like KOXX and MONTY. I have an ONZA T-VEE. I was just wondering do I need to buy a whole new wheel so that the fatter tyre fits or can I just put it onto the standard wheel?Many Thanks,Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I thought a T-Vee had 20" wheels front and rear?If you want a good tyre, you'll need a 19" wheel, which means chaning the frame.Long story short, best off selling the bike and buying a new one which uses all the modern standards.

Muel Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 You can get a 20" 2.5, but they're wank, and the bike will still ride like a T-Vee.Sorry to be blunt, but if you want it to ride better, get £100 together, sell it and get a T-pro. They have 19" rear wheels, 4 bolt mounts, decent geo etc, so they make a much better base to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannytrialskid Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thanks for the answers, i have a t-pro, but it's my brothers and erm... i cba to buy a whole new bike. So erm... if i got the 20" x 2.5 why would it be "wank"? Also would that mean i need a new rim or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 They don't grip well and they arn't that bouncy and feel horrid to ride, the reason being there are very few available and they're generally realy cheap and nasty these days.The last place I knew to have anything 20x2.5 was Bike Dock, and they don't appear to have them now.

Unipsycho Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well for only twenty quid you may as well buy them and see how they feel, and then if you preferred the feel of them before, buy the smaller rim...it's not too expensive to find out if it's just twenty quid...
