    Raising the front fender

    I am thinking about raising the front fender on my bike by about half an inch so that I can use a higher profile front tire, possible a dual sport tire. Does the front fender act as a fork brace? If so, I assume the forks would need some extra bracing if I were to in fact raise the fender.

    Front Tire Wearing Faster than Rear

    Let me preface this by saying I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to bike maintenance (but as issues arise, I am learning :) .) From most everything I've read, the rear tire typically wears faster than the front. I have just over 5500 hundred miles on my bike and the front is definitely...
