voicecoils 1 MW Joined Sep 16, 2007 Messages 2,173 Location Sydney, NSW, Australia Mar 7, 2011 #4 Do you have a photo of the side of the wheel & tyre? The tyre shape does not look ideal from what I can see. A 2.5" tyre on a 4" wide rim? Generally the hookworms 2.5" tyres are run on a rim like this: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1851 which is only about 1 1/8" wide. Otherwise the hookworms are fantastic tyres, very grippy and a nice round profile.
