You can easily put a T or T-3 front end on your loop. You will need the
complete front end including triple clamps. All you have to do is add a .200"
spacer under the lower head bearing of the T front end & it will bolt right
onto the loop frame.
A 120 rear tire will fit but I often have to deflate the tire for removel &
installation of the wheel. Right now my Ambo has a 120/90 rear & 100/90
front, I use to think this was the best combination for my riding but because
of race compound sizes available I'm running a 110/80 rear & 90/90 front on
the race bike. I'm very happey with the smaller sizes & when the tires on my
Ambo wear out the smaller sizes will go on.
