That 21" rear wheel looks really nice!
Did not find that Train, can you post link?

I think i will go for 3.5" rim and than i can try 140 and 120 compare directly on my bike. Also seems to me that 120 on 3.5 looks better and wider than 120 on 3.25.

Just problem that my favorite wheels are only in 3.25".......

Do you have more pictures? Your front wheel is 3,5" ?

I have now problem with the fron wheel since all wheels i like are produced only in 3.25". I wonder how different is 3.5" from 3.25"......

TX Outlaw and Frisian, are your bikes raked or are the front ends at stock dimensions? I was looking to do a 140 on the front of my night train, I have the marzocchi front end but it is stock length and rake. Didnt know if it would be too close to the frame.

Thanks for getting back at me. I know I was digging up an old thread. Do you guys run no front feder by choice or is it due in part to a lack of availability for front fenders wide enough? I'm pretty sure I'd want to run a fron fender on my night train regardless of front tire size.

It was lack of availability when started off with the 120. Then the same when I went to the 140. I've just gotten use to not having one. There are a few available now.....
