I think I've finally found the reason I've been lacking 1 metre hops... how much extra jump height could I expect to get out of a 2.5" wide tyre compared to my current 2.25"? What sort of rim is best for 2.5"?
Hey, Pete66. I was hoping the same thing when I got my 3" tire. And actually my hopping height did double🙂 That is, it went from 120mm all the way up to 240mm🙁 But I think if I keep practicing hard enough and keep up that old American work ethic I might obtain .5 meter some day. In all seriousness, just get the trials tire/wheel if you can. You won't regret it😎
