Bikes: Iro Mark V Pro

IRO Mark V Pro Barspin

Hello everyone,

I've been the owner of an Iro Mark V Pro (size 56) for a few months now and recently wanted to begin bar-spinning after learning how to on my friends bike. I can sometimes clear my frame if I barspin really hard at the perfect time but it isn't practical in any way.

I've thought about either getting a 650c front wheel or a Volume Fu Manchu fork to spin a 700c. Would i get enough clearance with the Volume Fu Manchu? Which would be the better option and why? I don't want pedal scrape around corners with a 650c either.

Thanks.
