I need to find a rear wheel rim clamp for my XTR.
Now i've got my TKC'S fitted,i want the option of dropping the rear pressure
when on the muddy stuff.
The biggest size i can find is for a 2.5 rear wheel,but the XTR has a 2.75 rear,and after trying the 2.5 it is way to small.
Any idears guys/gals.


B.T.W.I did 200 miles on the tyres last monday,90 of them off road.
The road miles were great,even in the wet,no problems at all.
Off road (Salisbury Plains finest chalky clay) the front was fine,but with 29 psi in the rear it was not so good.
I would have liked to run it at 15-20psi (i have mich 4mm thick tubes fitted) to see if the grip was any better (jasext did say the rears were not very good in the mud),but without the clamp it was just not worth the risk.

Cheers all.....Andy C.

DK off road do a 2.85" HERE

Hi Motonacio.
The rim clamp should be with me by the weekend (only doing the rear as the balance on the front would be a problem).
I will post up some pictures of the fitting next week.
Thanks again for the info.
Andy C.

Just called D.K off road to chase up my order to be told that they can't supply it.
Will keep looking.
Regards, Andy C.

Andy..did you find a rim-lock that fitted off-the-shelf, for your XTR ? With a possible 70hp at the rear wheel when my engine is finished, I am a little concerned at ripping the inner tube when running a lower tyre pressure.

I see that Offtheroad sell them, but they look like Motion Pro ones...which only go up to 2.5 ?????

Also, (excuse the "off thread",) when we went to Salisbury, I found that the footbrake lever was too high when standing up. I have lowered it as much as possible at the brake cylinder...but ideally I would like it a little lower still when wearing my bovver-boots. (I have just bought some Pivot Pegs that rotate 20 degrees as well, so when I am "Pivot-Pegging-forwards" I am on the brake.).

I could just remove one of the nuts on the adjustment, but I am not sure if that would be enough, I will try it though. A shorter clevis attachment should do it.

Any ideas Andy? Are there any after-market folding levers that are lower/adjustable? or ones off another bike? Did you have this problem?

It's worth having a crack at losing that second nut. It'll give you a fair few degrees of movement. Did the same on an old XR and substituted the last nut for a locking nut.

If that fails a couple of cuts and a weld would be a pretty simple fix for the lever.

Off topic again, which bash plate is that. In the market for one and that looks sweet!

The bashplate is a Touratech EXTRA LARGE ! �160 NEW!!!! LARGE PRICE EH?

.....luckily I found it second-hand.

Cut the two nuts in half carefully, which means you lose the width of a nut, but keep the locking feature (what I've done). Or just buy two nuts half the thickness!
