18" rear wheel
Hi All.
I've read about the difficulties of getting 17" tyres in remote parts of the worlsso wondered whether there is a real value in increasing rear wheel size to 18". My questions are: How much easier would it be to get 18" compared to 17" tyres; what rim would I use to replace the original, both steel and alloy; what rear sprocket size would be needed to retain the original gearing; would there be any isues with the wheel fitting in the frame/swinging arm?
All and any comments or answers are welcomed, especially from anyone who's taken this step.
Regards,
Geoff
