Brooklyn Machine Works

Considering getting my v2 widened for larger tyres and at the same time obviously getting it re-tracked.

What size tyres do you want to use?

DUDE! make it a proper fck of 29er. 2.2 clearance like Dom's ESB

I wanna use 48c but if I'm going through the trouble of getting it widened I may as well get it to take 2.1 at least.

If you're going to bother, at least turn it in to a fat bike

#takingthingstotheirlogicalconclusion

fat track would be FUCKING SICK

Believe me a fixed fat bike has crossed my mind in the past...

2.2 is the truth. if your gunna do it. do it proper

2.4

Just for the hell of it, I think I'd need to change my cranks though :(

the rear wheel on my all city is so fucked atm i had to take my 2.4 off. Makes me sad

Same on my Brooklyn, running a 28c now!

it was rubbing on both sides with a 2.4. I should stop casing really shit 180s

I've never even attempted to 180 anything bigger than 26"
I wanna get back on an fgfs bike now...

Orly?

I'm still not 100% sure that you bent the frame in that crash. You'd need a bus to bend that thing!

It may have never been totally straight from the beginning??

Yup! Need to replace my fast biek first though.

I'm sure it was bent in the crash because before then I could center a wheel in the chain stays and seat stay simultaneously whereas now if it's centered at one of those points it's close to rubbing at the other.

In that case, I'll go back to recommending a dirt jump bike :-)

Or a tank

Would a dirt jump bike really be tougher?

I have no idea really. You never had any problems riding the gangsta off road, so other than fitting a brake, I'd stick with using it.

Bigger tyres/extra clearance sounds like a good move though.

I'll likely pick up a disc fork wether or not I get the frame modded simply to save my knees, will hopefully be riding off road more during the winter and fuck skidding every few seconds.

fuck skidding every few seconds.

You're getting old mate.

What the fuck? it's have enough clearance to demolished the London road and you want it *wider?

You know bigger tyres make you go slower right?

It has clearance for around 38c with the wheel very far back in the dropouts.

although 38c was for the most part ok I want to use larger tyres for off road riding this winter.

And that last bit is not strictly true.

Get some CX tyres on then, 38c is plenty.

Or ride a mountain bike frankly.

I have some cross tyres, I'm not really looking for an MTB though Ed.
