Wheel: Must it be 21' or doe not matter in the end???
we're planning to cross the Stans, Mongolia, Siberia then South Korea, Japan and Australia.
I realise it may be difficult to find tyres. So far I thought my next travel bike should have 21' front tyre, as in my experience it was easier (in South America) to find those for my husband's bike than the 19' tyre required in my previous travel bike. (BMWs GS and Dakar)
SO I was determined to get bike with a 21' front wheel for next trip
My problem is that I am short and bikes with 21' front wheel would require a lot of work to lower to my level.
Also we want to ride the same model (husband and me).
Am I over thinking that? Should I just get a bike with 17' front tyre for my size and forget about tyres?
Alternatively I thought I could send a parcel ahead of us to Almaty (family of friends). Including tyres, there couls be enough to get us to South Korea?
IF anyone has any answers to these questions! Thanks!
