Yes. A 130 is 5.2 inches wide. Imagine trying to get a 5.2 inch wide tire to work where a 4.10 tire has only 1/4 inch clearance. Still, if you intend to do this, the guy at Britannia motorcycle has a whole series on making a B-25 BSA into a trials bike. One of the chapters shows the easiest way to spoke a wheel/hub combination of any I've ever seen. He's a little difficult to understand, as he's originally from Yorkshire (I think), England. If you liston to him as he builds a wheel a couple of times, it will become very clear....ARH
