  2. 700-2
I've been having my 700-2 for almost 2 years now.. And have zero complaints except I wish it did have a little more pep.. I've been hunting down a limestone road and had no need for other than the factory tires.. Now I'm hunting down a horrible road and the factory settings will no longer work.. Ive installed some spacers on the bike for more clearance and a bolt bracket one the bottom of my shocks which I have a total of 13.5 inches of ground clearance.. The question is I'm thinking about getting some 27x9 / 27x11 Mega Mahems...does anyone have anything similar and what is the performance of the bike like this??

I think you'll be fine. Seems like guys start noticing power loss when they go over 28" and even then, it's not always. I went to 26" and felt absolutely zero difference power wise.

It's all the bike I need, I would love to get a p1k but this bike is fine .. I just don't want to bog it down to bad with oversized tires.. And if it doesn't perform like I need it to then we can talk about it!!!o_O

Sounds good. Surely you can go a little larger on tires and be ok. We do it with the P5 and its a wee 475cc.
