I just had that problem with Wendys bike. The stock Bridgestone was fine but I put a new IRC Wild Flare in it and it rubbed. I lowered her bike 2". I still have to find a tire with the right profile so it won't rub. Either that or wear them down some on my bike then put it on hers and put a new one on mine and keep going with that cycle. When going 2" the chain guard will hit the frame and the chain will hit part of the Freak bracket or maybe the air box. The chain guard I just cut the front of it back and it's fine and I bent the tab on the Freak bracket out of the way. You may not have these problems if you have less travel but her bike has full travel in her shocks.



Have th same prob with th lower 412's when swappin out from th Bridgestone to a Dunlop...Bridgestone was gr8, but th Dunlop rubs on th tread over bumps...PITA
