Rear wheel swap.. my 19" for your 18"


Recommended Posts

I am making a project bike. I took a rolling chassis from an '03 YZ 450F and am putting my CR 500 motor into it.

I will be using this bike as a hill climber in the western states circuit.

The tire of choice is the Tera-Flex. This tire only comes in an 18" size. That is why I am swapping.

Should be a fun bike to ride when I am done with it.

Just curious, what makes the Tera-Flex so good of a tire?

It doesn't look any better than most off road tires.

Which one are you talking about?

Educate me.

Super deep knobs, more bite and longer wear

rim guard sidewall engineered to provide increased deflection & bite

Extra thick knobs allow recutting of worn and rounded edges without losing knob stability. Maintains maximum bite for the life of the tire

Double edge taper, wide base, self-cleaning knobs, will not clog even in gumbo mud

leading edge of intermediate knobs, directs side thrust towards the inside when the bike is leaning into a turn

tread rubber compounded for extreme traction

Race tire construction, super-strong steelbelted, light weight racing nylon, reduces unspring weight, increases deflection, lays down a huge footprint and controls rebound
