Hopefully I can find a 20" rim that I like that weighs close to 24lbs.
Don't forget that bigger rubber = more weight. Yes the profile is lower but the width and diameter is bigger. More rolling mass unsprung weight will lengthen stopping distances. BAER hopes to have a brake upgrade by SEMA in Nov. I may get SS lines to firm up the pedal and upgrade the fronts only since I don't plan to race.
