Just wondering why you want a 19" rim on a trail bike. Most guys go the other way putting an 18" on MX bikes they converted for trail use. Also, from my experience Kawy rims are some of the weaker standard ones put on the jap bikes. If going to the trouble of changing to a 19", you might want to get something stronger.

well, really it has a lot to do with having more tire sidewall to avoid pinched tubes and dinged rims on the harsher terrain you get in trails. The MX tires have a much lower sidewall profile. I really hated mounting those things on my kid's YZ. Getting the rimlock in place could be a bitch.

And the selection of tires is far greater with an 18"
