I am building a new school cruiser and the tyres i want are only available in 24x1.75. On a previous cruiser I had I found that I needed to change to a 2.125 front to get the bike to run how I liked. What's peoples experience with this? I think i have noticed cruisers often have same front and back, wheras 20" definately favour fat front thin rear.

:) I`ve also thought the same thing.Just checked both my stock cruisers and they have f/r tyres of the same size.I`ll ask the mother in law,as she knows everything.

I think its a personal thing as to which you prefer, i cant see the
advantage of a 2.25 up front apart from looking like a tractor tyre,
also theres the extra weight issue for the light concious (like me)
-
Most people run 1.75" front and rear on cruisers. Fat front tyre not really necessary as the bigger wheels soaked stuff up better than a 20". And most berms are tarmac'd, so having a fatty up front for grip not so much of an issue either.
I've used the 1.75" Intense Halo tyres for the last 2 seasons.

Thanks guys. I am going to try the Supercross blue streaks. 1.75 it is then.

I think it is probably the spare tyre around your waste that is making you slow Zippy
