SubscriberOk i am finally ready to get new rims for my vindicator. they would be 23 in.
ridewright fat spoke in front tire diameter would be around 29 inches from about 26 in so i would have to lower the front end. My question is can this be done and dose it change the trail or in any way make it a dangerous set up?
Any help on this would be appreciated.loop-single-reply.php

AdministratorFirst make sure the larger diameter wheel/tire combo will fit in your front fender. It’s likely you will need a different fender. What you don’t want is to have the fender look like an ill fitting hat.
From there the forks are +2″ so you could have them cut down an inch to get the frame level again. My guess is you will spend quite a bit of $$ to start using a 23″ rim. But we’d love to see pix when it done! –S.

SubscriberYou say my forks are 2 over but my original spec sheet
says 4 over. Could you please clarify that. Thank you.loop-single-reply.php
@venmc
AdministratorSorry I stand corrected you are correct. The Vindicators and Vendettas were 4″ over. The Vendetta with 5 degree tree were 6″ over.

SubscriberNow i need to find a 23 inch fender.
Do you think Russ Wernimonts 23 inch
flaired fender would work?loop-single-reply.php
@venmc
AdministratorProbably… they made all our front fenders through 05. I’d give them a call and let then know what you are doing they could give you the width etc.
