Wish I had a direct answer, but have you had a look at gearingcommander.com ?

I've found that Mitas XT-644 are very good DS tires. Mine have lasted a few thousand KM on mostly pavement. Good grip in everything so far. Full-length knobs in a dense pattern, rather heavy and stiff carcass. ("Carcass"? My english is failing me ... is that the right word? Seems rather ... heavy metal.) Hard to put on / take off the wheels but seem hard to puncture too. Not sure if they're available in America.

And - have you considered getting a cush hub to protect the clutch/transmission? Kush sprocket maybe?

Whatever way yo gou please keep us posted, thanks!

I have no ideia about bigger wheels, but I'm running 14-40 on mine with 17'' wheels. I can still ride at 120-140km/h without a problem, may be maxing out at 170-180km/h.

I will stay with the 17 -21 wheels I'm a short *** had to have the seat shaved on all my bikes

14 -40 sounds good not to worried about bottom end
thanks fro the replies
