Looks good, but the SV surely doesn't need such a huge tyre.

It dosen't have the power to demand it, and it will just slow the turning down.

IMO

It absolutely does not need it, no. But the reduction in turning speed shouldn't be massive, and it does look good, so why not? By most accounts, the simple geometry changes can outweigh the slowing of turn- I know my bike will turn faster than I could ever want it to.

Billy measure the circumference of the 160 mounted on the SV wheel. If it's worn add a few mm to get a rough idea what it would be new. Then do the same for the bigger tyre mounted on bandit wheel you would be putting on.

You can then work out the radius from that.

Cheers

Someday. :) Going to get the bearings out of the wheel on thursday and an old 180 put on it, hopefully, and then it's just measuring and shopping to do.
