18 inch rear wheel Vs 19 inch rear wheel ?

(1/2) > >>

kiwikx500:
In what areas are one better than the other over  ? 8-)

Paul:
19's are better on a MX track, 18's are better in rocky areas like open desert races. The extra sidewall on the 18 helps to avoid pinch flats.

gowen:
19s are lighter. That is the only effect I know of.

alan:
You can run a 560 Paddle with an 18! :-D :-D

Danger4u2:
So, what you guys are saying is 18" doesn't handle any better than the 19", the 18" just has more tire options.
Is that correct?
