  3. The fattest one that will fit your rim and frame. A monty or Luna is
    good if you have a 19 inch rim.

  5. No, its just tire. Does england have a seperate dictionary or is TYRE
    slang?

  7. Thinuniking: Try the monty whiteline, it's got a slightly rounder
    profile. Or tryall makes a 19" tire witha different tread. ww.tryall.com
    ?

    The fattest you cna fit on a 20" is aq 2.125 knobby. Any BMX tire will
    work.

    This reminds me of a friend of mine who was in Japan. She met some U.S.
    Marines and one of them asked where she came from. So she says England,
    to which he replies, "oh yes, what language do they speak there?".

    Blush.:o
    When we decided not to have a king, we gave up the King's English and so
    made our own english. 😄 I read somewhere that one of the reasons Dan
    Webster spelled things differently (not the only reason, by far, but one
    of them) was to seperate the two countries languages.

  13. Not certain, but seeing as no-one's answered the original question, the
    max daddy 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/3xgv7) looks alright, fits on a
    standard 20" rim (ie not a 19" trials rim), and isn't too big to fit in
    most frames.
    having said that there are uite a few 20" tyres, so if you want a big
    tyre it might be worth going to a bike shop and having a look.
    Ben - I've looked for different tyres for trials tyres and I can't find
    anything different. I want a slick tyre, but I don't think it exists.

    Um, you should have checked "our" 'dictionary'
    (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=TYRE) first.
