OS - your picture has the 39s, right? They look awesome. Do you have a picture of your bike with the 36's on by chance?

Bro just go 39" already, they only look like they are an inch longer when you see them side byside, but when you see 39"s next to 36"s the cholos win every time imo

I have to agree 39"'s are the chit, but when I had 36"'s they were nice too.

I don't believe there is a price difference, So... like those of us who have already "been there done that"... suggest you go with the 39"... But the final decision is ultimately yours.

36"


39"


Comparison from above...
