mikesmith:
Im kind of scared of the cheap tires after trying a Maxxis IT on the front (before word got out just how bad a front tire it is) but Ill have to see.

Cam,I thought you used the millville.The Unadilla is their hard terrain tire,is it not?

mikesmith:
Unadilla or Millville?Let me know which ever it is how it is for flat protection in the rocks,I noticed the Maxxis on a lot of bikes and heard they improved the front tire but Im not taking a chance on another one.I ride hard pack,decomposed granite,rocks,roots,mud,snow,you name it.

crazyryan:
I bought a 3.5''x 18'' SunWheel and mounted a IRC 140/18 and it has been a great combo.  The extra width rim makes the M5B wider instead of rounder.  I run hillclimbs and dirtdrags in soft and intermediate.  With a change in air pressure, I think it's the best.  With no rear bead lock on the rim you'll need to screw through the rim into the tire to keep it from moving.  I used 6 screws per side.

mikesmith:
Itll be awhile,but I plan on getting some.
