Excellent, can’t wait to see what you come up with. I am thinking of going 260 the next time around.

cool...i talked to Kurt from Sumo X...he told me the Dunlop 240 is really only 233...he said dunlop is not a good tire for the size and they are always smaller than listed...he told me Meltzer was his best choice and true to the size

I love the wide tire, but don't like the external struts. Plus I am not remodding my new fender. Your bike is going to look amazing when you are done.

Damn you, now I want to dump my Dunlop 250 and get a Metzler 260! When you get it done, be sure to post pictures of how much room you have between the swingarm and tire. I will post pic’s of my 250 when I get it back together and then we can see a comparison.

How wide is your Gladiator rim and what is the width of the open space where the tire runs in the Sumo-X swing arm?
