As for trail riding 22 and 23 are the way to go..

As much as I like that setup for really muddy and rutted trails, that isn't the way to go for normal trail rides, they don't handle near as well as a 21"/20" combo.

I have been itching to try my Razr2's and ITP GNCCs out, maybe this year I'll finally make it down there to wayne for a ride.  I hear it's a great trail system.

GNCC fronts?

This is true they do not handle as well and it slows down the steering a good bit. But at speed the ride is very nice.. I have busted many 21 fronts and bent rims, with 23 up front no more busted tires or bent rims... It can just take more Inpact

I agree with the impact thing for wheel protection, but I do alot more cornering than impacting the front wheels. I have found with my new setup, steering is so good that I hit things alot less.

You'll love them if you haven't tried them yet.

When in rutted trails, the side nubs will grab onto the ruts and will easily pull you out.

I will reassure you your tires are holding you back. I went to hatfield mccoy once with 20% stock rears.... and i slide everywhere. I couldnt hold an uphill line to save my life. Went back with new razr II's and killed it.

If you have ever been there, you know its the place for mud.

Hey Dale, do you have any pics of the 23's? I was going to run 20/22 because I thought 23 would be too large. Id like to see it if you wouldnt mind
