    Upload the pics to a hosting site like photobucket. They normally have an auto size option to adjust that for you. Think link them here.

      The wheel is a post Kat rear wheel. You can use the hub you have, just be aware each finger on the hub that inserts into the cush drive... is going to rub on the wheel slightly.

          I am ordering the new tires for the bike. I am getting the michelin pr2's. I am putting on the 160 rear tire and it only comes in 160/60/ZR17. So do i keep the 60 profile on the front tire or go with the 70 profile? I am about 140lbs so weight rating would be fine either way.

              So i got the new tires for the kat. front went on without a problem. putting the rear on and i noticed that i have to modify the brake arm. so do i hit it a few good times with a hammer? or grind some of it away? what would be the best route?

                    Take the brake arm off.

                    Sit the arm on a piece of paper, and draw 2 parallel lines on either side of the arm to measure by.

                    Increase the bend in the middle of the arm so that those lines would be 1" wider apart.

                    Put the arm back on.
