Default Wheel size comparision
Are there any photos out there of the standard 17/18 wheel combo compared to the same care up-sized to an 18/19 wheel combination... I'm told that the difference is pretty noticable but haven't run across it yet myself. If you have before/after photos it would be great !

It matters. It makes up for lack of technique. Now, if you have both size and technique - heh, heh, heh!
