Not really sure I understand what a 23" front wheel has to do with long runs.

Shouldn't affect his ride comfort at all. Story808 is running a 23" on his train.

2DAKERB has a 23x3.5 on the front of his, he said it rides like a dream. as long as it skinny like the 21x2.15. the wider 23 inch wheel handles great from the people I have asked.

I'm looking to get a 23x3 for the front of my '99 myself
