Chris_Walker Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Rite guys just some advice needed.I wanna know if i can run a 26" rear try-all rim inside a Monty Urban Frame instead of the usual 25" thing they put in? Baring in mind ill be running discs.If i cant do this can i fit a Maxxis Highroller tyre on a 25" rear rim?Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 pretty sure you can, could on the old ones no problem but they did have lnger chainstays......I think the bhest bet would be to measure the frame and see if theres enough room for a 26" wheel and tyre (if you have the frame)get out and ride yeeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOLO Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 i used a tryall rim and rear disk on my monty urban for a bit.so yes.im pretty dam sure theres room on the latest one too.iolo.and no you cant put a highroller on a 25" rim, u gotta use the monty tyre.

Brian Bleech Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Pretty sure Bucky ran a 26" rim when he had his urban ages ago, with some adaptors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerider Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 yes you definately can as I use a try-all rim and tire in the back of my new 231. If you're interested, I may be getting some adaptors made so a maggy can be used with a 26" rim?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
