How long will it be

[comrad]

Before the after market companies release tires for the 700xx weird sized rims?

[lordofrebirth]

Likely the major suppliers for shops such as the one I work at will have them in the 09 catalogs. Hopefully sooner than later since I'm gonna get asked about that a lot when the xx is out...

Might be better to switch the rims up instead but I'm not to sure on that since I like ground clearance for bush whacking.

Rocky Mountain ATV didn't know when they would have them....called them today.

I don' think that you will be able to put a smaller rim on the XX. Also, the stock rim has a tapered thickness to it as well. I've heard that Dunlop has another tire coming out for it. When? I don't know. I'm hoping that ITP makes a GNCC Holeshot for it by next year! That 11-inch rim is a real bugger!

Maxxis makes a razr tire for it already, saw them on Wayne matlocks 700XX this last weekend. He only had two mounted on stock wheels, do not know when they will release them to the public.

You can put 10" wheels on so long as you re-drill them for 144 and you buy them with a 3" backspace. 9" wheels hit the swingarm....

Here, I'll even post pics:

Damn that looks sick! I wonder how wide that is??

OK, so it's 1:10 in the morning, I just finished doing this for mine.

WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASPIRIN!

First off measureing, re-measureing and then measuring again isn't enough. Measure a 12th time just so you can post that you did.

Secondly AND MOST IMPORTANTLY you need to put spacers, or washers in between the rim and the hub or you get a cartoonish wobble out of the wheels. I have no idea why the guy I linked didn't mention that other than I think he just mounted them and never looked back.  As a result, I'm willing to bet my big toe that when aftermarket wheels come out they will have the "clover" pattern cut-out of the center of the wheels like the stockers. I digress...

So now I have to load everything up and get it ready for my trip to Mississippi. I'm bringing the stock wheels just in case. Also the rims stick out, which shouldn't make it a bad thing in the sand, but it's wider than you think.

I'm too tired and pissed off to take pictures right now, and if I did most would have me giving the middle finger to whatever I was photographing. I will though, especially if it saves someone else the headache I just went through.

G'night all.

Thanks for reading.

Here's what I ended up with:







I didn't like them at all.

They're now up fro sale.

For what it is worth Dirt Wheels (yuck) said that Maxxis will have a Razr for the 11" rim by late summer.

[700xx]

[scuzz]

Um....it made it ride and jump funny.

[hondarider1]
