can anyone tell me if i can change from a 250 back tire to a 330 back tire....and if so what do i need to change
330 tire

??The frame isn't built for it. It can be done but way to much work. If you want a 330 it will be cheaper to buy a new bike with a 330 rear.

You will need a current Ridgeback to have a 330mm back tire. There is very little clearance between the belt and tire. And I mean little!

Call Daytec they can sell you the 330 swingarm. Your best bet is to convert to a chain and sprotor, 3 Guyz can make you the sprocket with the offset you'll need. No I don't know what offset you'll need but I can tell you how to measure it. Next you'll have to space out the DSSC actuator, and you'll need a longer clutch pushrod to match. With the DSSC being offset I don't think you can buy a long enough pushrod so you'll have to make one or have one made, then have it heat treated. Once you get that sorted out you'll need the wider fender, the struts are easy enough to space out off the frame. It's alot of work and the swingarm is expensive, but if you have access to a lathe and a welder it can be done easy enough.
Your profile shows you have a K-9! Is this what you want the 330 for?

Lol, this is just my hobby, but I help out my friends when I can. I have a buddy with a K9 that wants a 330, so we've been kicking around the idea, but I'm so damn busy with this Redneck and I've got a bagger build lined up right after that so who knows.
