Here are photographs of both sides of the Warp9 wheel after I remounted the Shinko 244, size 5.10-17, rear tire.





The size 5.10-17 tire is great for bearing the heaviest loads. However, I always prefer to travel light. Therefore, as soon as this rear tire wears out, I plan to replace it with a Shinko 244 tire in size 4.60-17. Unlike the wider stock rim, the narrower, 2.50-17 rim will safely accommodate the smaller tire, which is designed for a size 2.15-17 rim. Nevertheless, the size 2.50-17 rim also allows me to revert back to the wider, 5.10-17 tire, if I ever decide to burden the bike with much heavier loads.
