Hey can someone help me understand why you would want to flip over your front tires . I see more and more riders doing this .
Does this put stress on the front end?
I understand it gives you width but is it worth doing .
just want to know the benefit to doing this , if any..

Thanks .

mines flipped..hasnt caused any problems..it makes the frontend wider..but u could also get new rims with a wider offset if u didnt want to flip them but its a very simple/cheap modification
