Buy a new rear tire (not a 140/80/70), and chalk it up as an investment in your riding education. If you're including shop costs to modify any of the chain links and adjust the chain slack, getting a new tire put on correctly isn't much more. |
def not a 1/2 inch maybe like 3-4 mm
EDit: if you saw the video I put my finger nail in the hole and i have short nails. I touches the bottom on the tread I created. My nails are not more than 4-5 mm. I guess the video makes it look bigger, but the groove on the other side is about 1mm @
Alex , When I get home I will put a ruler in it to show you.
