Has anyone run 17" rims, and if so what size tires will fit? TK

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> Don, I've never heard of culm before. I had to look it up in the dictionary to find out for sure what it is. Do you have to clean your air filter more frequently after playing in the culm? How about cleaning it off the bike? Sounds to me like a unique riding opportunity that might also present some interesting maintenance opportunities. Maybe just riding in culm would be comparable to severe duty??? It sounds like it would be hard on a chain and sprockets.
