November 6, 201510 yr Hi, Can I put fatter than my current 20x2.5 tyres on the back wheel of my 20.0? If so, where would I get them? If not, I guess I need a new back wheel and tyre combo -again, which and where to buy? Any advice? Cheers CG
November 18, 201510 yr Most people doing serious trials with a 20 upgrade to the 'competition rear wheel set' - £159 through Oset (http://osetbikes.com/gb/parts/wheel-sets/ also through Trials UK but a bit dearer - http://www.trialsuk.co.uk/products/oset-rear-competition-trials-wheel) This comes as standard on the 20 Racing and gives you a 3" wide rear tyre (same as TY80 rear tyre I believe). Think it comes with a security bolt so you can run at 2psi or less for best grip. Don't think you can simply buy the wider tyre and fit to the standard rim, although I haven't personally tried!
November 21, 201510 yr Author Thanks, I appreciate the reply. Currently my standard 20.0 back tyre just will not stay on, it keeps popping off the rim. I'm wondering if the inner tube is too big, or, probably, the tyre is somehow slightly too big. Very odd. Arrrg.
