WHEN PEOPLE SAY THAT YOU CAN REVERSE THE TIRES TO MAKE IT WIDER, WHAT EXACTLY DO THEY MEEN? cAN YOU JUST TAKER THE TIRES AND WHEEL OF HUB AND FLIP THE TIRE/WHEEL AND PUT IT BACK ON MAKING THE VALVE STEM FACING THE INSIDE OF BIKE INSTEAD OF OUTSIDE? tHAT IS THE WAY I TAKE IT BUT I DONT KNOW FOR SURE. BTW HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING IN THE FORUMS, MAINLY YAMAHA AND HONDA? THANX FOR YOUR HELP

 

Yes Thats all you have to do is turn your tire around so the stem is facing the inside. No I have not had any problems getting in.

When doing this make sure the valve-stem will not hit the brake components or it will get ripped out. On most models with disc brakes you have to drill a hole and put a valve stem on the other side of the rim. Then just use a valve stem facing inside of the original hole to plug it off

 

I've always had a concern with putting undue stress on the components that they weren't designed for by reversing the wheels-of course I'm a 240 pound linebacker so I stress everything a little more. From the reviews thus far the bike handles awfully well, I would probably just wait until I could afford to pony up for a wider axle if I were you-to be followed down the road by the more expensive components of wider a-arms and a longer swingarm.
