Sure wish you would tell me how to go about putting wider tires on my nakto e-bike. I couldn't afford another ebike but this one serves me just great except I feel like it's wanting to slip out from my control and just think I would have better traction with wider tires on it. Couldn't believe Nakto bike's said not to do it (like they still own it) I don't plan to make it a wide tire ebike but just want a better grip on the road or grassy area I might be riding on. I have plenty of clearance and if you could give me a little feedback I would appreciate it. Thank you for your time and I love the bike's you show but like I said I can't afford that much money. Stay Safe 🇺🇲

I have a finger clearance o each side on my 26" 2.0 on my 2008 specialized xc pro. If is not much to ask do you know how much wider I could go

Hi, I have MTB, M size, 18" of frame with 26" of tyres. So, is it possible to put 27.5" wheel on M size of the bike? Thank you.

Hy..i have an carrera vulcan with 27.5x2.10 tyres..i want to change the tyres, can i use 27.5 tyres with more then 2.10 ?inner tube for example is 2.10 to more

[tmayberry]

Why didn't you do the same for the rear tire that is where the problem is

[lionellhall]

he telling the truth you can buy a bike from Walmart or bike shop and get a 26 mountain bike and buy you a new bike tube it get little thicker I did it .it looks good plus you want to buy both tube not one get a set of bikes tires 26+2. them tires look thicker you like it you you got to know the tires sizes some bikes or not make for thicker tires you got to know the brand you get buy a name bike look them up on the Internet some bikes costs to much every to much

My tube is wider than my tire, what do I do

[jjhackr]

that pinky method only works with Asians due to their smaller fingers...
