New tires

Well I got some new smoothies from wind power sports. Thanks Cory. nice tires It is going to be a little different because they are taller so it picked me up off the ground about 3-4 more inches. What difference does that make if any? It sure makes the little rockville look alot more beffy though. I will try them out for the first time today.

you'll have a higher CG {center gravity }

if you can, drop your seat down lower.....

or your going to have to lean more through your turns on faster speeds or learn to ride it out on 2 wheels, also if you move the seat back brings the center of balance more over the rear axle

then again stability is over rated :lol:

Or put small bags of lead shot on each side of the axle and downtube. Like 5lbs each might bring it back to what your use to. Then again it will slow you down.
