Pros and 19" wheel

[gasgasman]

With a whole new slew of pros riding Gas Gas'.
Are they running the OEM 18" rear wheel or relacing a 19" wheel?

I like the 19" myself as there are more tire options and better feel on the trails.

I bet most stay on the 18s just because a GG isnt the most popular rim on the market.

I am like you. I like the 19 better but not enough to justify lacing up a new wheel.

I am guessing that you guys don't ride rocks. I have moved from 19" to 18" and find it much better for rocky rides

Hey guys, I know for me its more of a tool to use based on the terrain. For sand or GNCC like chop the 19 is better because it gives you a more positive feel. For roots and rocks you cant beat an 18. I know for me personally the 18 is a more versatile setup.

Well that just about settles that (just kidding - resume )

Welcome aboard Jeff, and congratulations on your new ride.
