The beginning of My NS Cap.
Crapital.
Found that a 26 wheel does fit. Just still might go 24.

joostflux had a 08 cap with 26" He cut the cross bar to slam it . But he said he didn't have to do that just to fit the wheel .He ran a shaved kenda cross. But you could run a tioga city slicker with it and should have no issues. The tioga is vey sticky too so it's a solid street tire.

I think he said the ivory Drool could be wrong though. I know they have a brand new 08 on an Australian sight .
