It works with that bike! Definately not on a Softail though. I did not even know they made a 26'' tire.

I saw a 23 up close and thought it was too big. Gotta build a bike around that wheel to look right.

Go to the Cinci dealers show as they already have tires made and the newest 30" rim will be unveiled. You guys with those old 26" rims are so yesterday! Yes, this post is the truth as these tire/wheel package needs fenders for them. That is how I know!

Definitely agree. That would not work on an otherwise stock frame. The geometry would be all fugged up.

Man i was at a stop light here in town and a guy pulled up with a 23" on a softail custom. It looked SUUWWEEET!!! looked like a 80 spoke. I dig em' on the right bike...

Much like the JC Whitney catalogue, just cause you can buy it and it fits doesn't mean you should *Hee Hee*
Not my taste but you know there is someone out there that just can't live without it!
