Hello all.

I need to buy a one for my trailer. How wide should I get for an xb front wheel? I'm guessing 5.5"? 3.5" seems to narrow and my bike isn't here to measure.

Thanks.

Gregg

wider is better, go for 6" at least imo.

That makes sense, to a point. I mean all it's really doing is holding the wheel from moving forward. Now that I think of it though, a narrow one would make it difficult to put the bike on the sidestand, wouldn't it?

Cheapest one I've ever seen... but make sure it clears the brake disc.

5 3/8 inch I believe. I asked this same question before I bought my bike. I used two pieces of 2x4 bolted to the trailer to keep the front wheel from moving side to side.
