Ok so somewhere along the lines here, hopefully sometime soon, pending my college budget doesnt overule I would like to widen my dale. Now I need to decide whether to go +1 or +2, Im not even going to consider +3 because I dont have the money and I would still like to be able to hit the trails too. I plan on using stock 16" ohlins except for a tripple rate SSD conversion by TQS. Right now I am running wheel spacers which are +2 in the rear and +1 in the front with stock offset wheels which makes a total of 2 inches wider in the front and 4 in the back, thus making my rear end 2 inches wider than my front, dont ask me why this is, thats just the way they sell them, they didnt have a +2 front. So since I am half and half right now I dont really know which way I would like to go. I would preferebly like to go with the +2 setup because it would give me options for some small mx stuff, and I know it will fit in the trails I ride in. My big question is, is it impossible to race XC with a +2 setup? I know I can just buy a narrower offset wheel to bring it down to a +1 if needed, but considering I just bought a brand new set of stock offsets I would like to not purchase a new set of wheels unless absolutley necessary.
Any advice would be helpful guys, thanks
+1 or +2 setup
i'm using +1's with 3.5/1.5 offset front wheels. makes my front end right around 47". there was never a spot where i couldn't fit through but if i had +2's i would've needed to find a different way around. a good promoter would design his course around the widest production quad made, but some guys cater more to the bike crowd. i took ****** and dirt out on a little guided tour a few weeks back. they have moto's with 18's. to my suprise they went everywhere i did, even through the mud. i think they would've gone a little faster if they wasn't as wide though.
