Danno,Hi
I need to replace both tyres on my C Rapide as they have hairline cracks (bike was laid up for a few years).
Standard size rims so looking at same type again.
Avon Speedmaster MkII 3.00 S20 front
Avon SM MkII 3.25/3.50 S19 rear
Did see them on Classictyres website a few years ago but was wondering if there’s any other
U.K outlets for mail order classic tyres that people here use.
Any help appreciated.
Dan
Peter,John, I am not going to be of much help to you as I don't keep a log or note anything, my main concern is getting a picture whilst out on the road, unless using my bike daily, I always go through my 5 minute pre ride checks, fuel, oil, chain, lights, etc. then a cursory look for anything about to drop off, and of course check the tyre pressures, invariably they need a quick puff of air, just a couple of psi, but I can tell you this, over the winter layoff the tyres do not go flat flat, just pretty low, I would guess 12-15 psi.
You might be right but I've been recommended MX inner-tubes by someone who has been using them for years on his Vincent. Central Wheels never questioned it when I asked them which MX inner-tubes to fit my road tyres. That doesn't mean you aren't wrong of course.Jon, I am lead to believe that Motocross tubes are not recommended for road use, definitely a case of thicker not being better, something to do with generating heat.
