The circumference has to be larger by definition when you upsize the wheels, right? (well, unless you offset larger wheels with thinner tires, or vice-versa)

The diameter would, of course, stay the same.....tires with 1" lower profile would be necessary. However, I've found that a larger wheel, even though the diameter of the tire stays the same, will sap some power. Am I wrong about this?

remember that the purpose of using larger diameter wheels it to allow larger brakes. quicker turn-in response is just a nice sideeffect. |
