Title: Any recommendations for my 26" Magic Pie?
Post by: Supatrike on March 09, 2011, 11:30:27 PM
I just got my Pie in last week and was wondering what tire/tube is recommended for it.  It's a front hub that I plan to use on a very large and heavy trike. I am currently using large, Kenda Flame tires http://www.choppersus.com/store/product/493/Tire-26-x-3-Kenda-Flame/

The Kenda Flame won't fit the Golden Motor 26x1.5 rim, but I'd kinda like something beefy like the Kenda Flame... 

I'd appreciate any info...

I did, but thanks.  I'm dreading taking my GM to the local bike shop, they already think I'm nuts.  I tried spending my money locally, but these guys don't like esoteric bike projects... so I now prefer buying online - but I'm not positive that I'll be buying something that fits.  The rim width that came on the GM seems narrow.  Do people typically change out the rims?
