[QUOTE="A_HRD, post: 1091, member: 49"] [b]Tyres[/b] Stuart, You don't have too much choice with those rim sizes. But then again the std front ribbed Avon Speedmaster is well tried and tested; and I've never had a problem with it. Remember, they are made with modern compounds these days so much better than 50 years ago. Again, on the rear, you can use the Avon SM Mk2 350x19 - same comments apply. Alternatively, you can use the 410x19 Dunlop TT100 which has a rounder profile, so theorectically at least, it should offer better grip when in the twisty bits. There are others too for the rear, but I've never used them so won't comment. But my best advice is to have fun and up the speeds a bit :) Blimey, I don't change into top until I reach 60mph... :D Cheers, Peter B Bristol, UK [/QUOTE]
