He said "Plus I get 17 skid patches" not "I ride 46x17 cause I get 17 skid patches" People around here need to read before being such judgemental @sses!

I also ride 46x17 and chose this setup because its 71 Gear inches AND since I ride brakeless I get 17 skid patches as a bonus to the gear I want to run. OP go with the 17, you won't regret it.
