Hi Thomas,
Ok I had not seen it previously but Yes now I see. I wondered how you got the higher tire to fit the new nosewheel fork. The fit with ordinary Bush wheel is pretty tight, I could not figure how you could fit a taller tire in it.
Regards,
Norm
Hi Norm,
I am doing some testing for Zenith with the larger tire. You can see in the photo a new longer blank fork that I used.
I have 2 hours on it this past weekend and it works nice. Much more sidewall stiffness with the 21 inch tire but time will tell when I take it to some really rough strips. We should have a lot of time on it by sun n fun and Zenith will be able to determine by the results of my testing if it will be available.
Hi Thomas,
Did you have to modify the nosewheel fork to get that larger tire in ???
Regards,
Norm
