which wheels swap?

Post by 94_jimmy »

i have a 2000 kdx 200. i am planning on riding it on the street in the spring. i am wanting tp get a second set of wheels so i can have a dirt set and a street set. wasnt sure if the wheels off a kx or anything like that would swap over with no problems.

why not get a set of DOT knobbies or ever trails tires?

the topic of tires has been discussed in depth and you'll find plenty of input on what tire would work best all round

off course if you want to run two complete sets of wheels thats perfectly fine but i think there is a more cost effective way (specially since you can ride a plated KDX to the trails and with a good 5050 or 8020 tire ON the trails)

i was planning to run trials tires on the street and aggressive knobby tires in the dirt. i would be riding the bike to work on occasion and dont think a set of DOT knobby tires will hold up, besides the rough ride.
