Title: S to DS semi conversion?
Post by: Burton on November 15, 2014, 09:18:21 AM

I was wondering if anyone put DS shocks on their S (like I have) and swap out rims / tires when the mood suits them.

I have S rims / tires and I was wondering what I need to gather to set up a pair of knobbies with laced rimes for winter fun ;)

Do I need to buy zero specific rims? What should I do for rear gearing? (I have 28 front right now)

I like tires like this more

The salient point it the rubber mixture for cold weather not only the tread of the tire.

Is this what you mean by winter fun?
