about how much extra would the 31" A/t tire with a steel rim weigh along with the brake caliper? or is the 35 lbf including the brake caliper?

Instead of starting a new post for each question, why not ask all questions in one research link. Fill us in, tell us what ur doing. Keep it in one link so that it is easier to search and quick for all to learn from???
