  2. sorry but you aren't going to find many tires that would be good for
    muni that are that skinny. go talk to your local bikes shop and see if
    they have some ideas.

  3. are you trying to fit one on a torker? if so it'll prbly fit a 2.3-2.5
    because i measured the gap to be 3" between the forks
    BUT
    if you insist on under 2.2
    get a cheap-ass Kenda 1.95 for 13 bucks
    just ask ur local bike store

  5. measure the gap and see for yourself 😄
    i think a 2.3 would be safe (specialized makes some of that size)
    2.5 might work, i actually put my friend's trials wheelset in my LX
    frame and it was fine, although some say those 2.5" Monty trials tires
    aren't exactly 2.5 inches, but it fit w/ a pinch of clearance

  6. Which Torker do you have? CX, LX, DX, TX?

    Do you have a LBS with good selection or downhill shop in your area?
    Check what they have in stock. You may find a "narrower" downhill
    tire.

    A couple years ago when I was looking for tires for my stop-gap (before
    I got a real Muni) Schwinn Muni I found an Arrow Racing-HD at a downill
    shop that says 24x2.5 but it measures closer to 2.25 at the outside of
    the lugs. I googled but can't find current mention of the tire anymore
    though.

    'This thread' (http://tinyurl.com/a49ct) has a pic of the tire next to a
    hookworm 24x2.5.

  7. Well, I have a Torker DX but a 20 inch, and I was wondering the same
    thing UNIwolcott. What is the biggest Muni tire you can fit on one of
    those?

  8. Count me in as wondering what the biggest tire is I can get on to my new
    torker LX. I'm just a beginner now- But I imagine the first thing I'm
    going to want to do as a stopgap to buying an actual MUni will be to
    throw a burly tire. There's always the WalMart 24X1.95 tire, but if I
    could go bigger, I would, just on principle...

  9. as i said earlier, i used a 1.95
    but i just got that because i wore a hole (a few actually) through my LX
    stock tire in a couple of months, and then i got a KH '05 :-P
    It ROCKS so yeahh, get one of those as soon as possible (if you have the
    dough)
    also,
    a 2.5" monty or similar trials tire SHOULD fit fine in the LX frame (a
    20" wheel), but, the rim would be too narrow to prevent foldover (it'll
    happen all the time) so either get a Muni, or get a trails wheelset to
    pop into ur torker frame

  11. I put a Kenda Kolossal on my Torker DX and it fits just fine. FYI I was
    screwing around with a friends uni and his Gazz fit in my frame perfect,
    no rubbing, it was pretty (expletive deleted) close though, but it
    worked

  12. I have a 24" Torker LX and it fits a 2.3" Kenda K Rad quite easily. The
    K Rad is more of a BMX dirt type tire than a real MTB tire, but if you
    consider the larger volume to be a fair trade for the less agrressive
    tread, it is worth looking at.

  13. If you have a new torker, you should be able to fit a gazz in it. I saw
    one at moab, anyway.

    oh, I didnt' know it was only DX... I thought all the frames were the
    same.
