I really don't think you'll hit the fender but hhi trees are the way to go

I'm working in South SF for another month... considering a ride to Street Vibes... if you go... lemme know.

Hey Dub- I'm getting my 23" upfront as well. Now that you know it's rubbing with the fender - I probably shouldn't drop the front at all right? Just keep it as is?

I think it will look like your pulling a wheelie if you don't drop the front to compensate for the height of the new rim. I already dropped mine 2" in preparation of the new 23
