I'll still be a novice next year as well, hopefully only for part of the year.

I'm going to do my best to drag Joel in with me. Need a husky support team.

Just purchased a set of Excel rims. Gotta go with a 5" rear rim so I can run them 160's!

One problem people have with the big wheels/tires is the chain cutting into the tire and whacking the rim while riding. Many shave the left lip of the tire. Others mount extra chain guides...

Mine already cuts into the edge of the tire! Gotta find a way to fix it. I know most of the "serious" competitors run 160's on their motards. Normally, I'd stick with the 150's and make due, but there seem to be VERY few "race" tires availible in that size.

Try adding a spacer to each of your sprocket bolts to help with the rub but you'll never fully clear the tire.

I was thinking about that, but I'd have to put a spacer behind the front sprocket too, otherwise they'd be unaligned, no?

Meh. I suppose the chain needs to eat a little tire to stay healthy anyways.

Yeah!!! I was about 12 when my Dad showed me the way....

Well maybe that isn't such a good comparison. I am sure your kids will do much better.
