Anybody know what 450-17 and 530-17 convert to. I've never took the time to learn that.

Yeah, they're pretty steep alright. It's very tempting for me though, because I will be keeping my bike in a garage at work during the winter. My workplace is at a aerial bombing and gunnery range that pretty much stays covered with snow. I will probably back-off this year, so I can get some performance mods done first, but next winter is a good possibility.

I posted a tire conversion information page in my photo gallery. I hope this helps.

Make your own! You just need to use some old tires and screw in all the studs. My mountain biking buddies do it for ice racing up here on the frozen tundra. A lot cheaper if you have an old set of tires to play with.

Here's a link:

With traction like that, Nobrakes shouldn't have any problems at all getting his "pumper ponies" to the ground ... either that or it will give his "roost a boost"
