[QUOTE="Old Bill, post: 121546, member: 1683"] Dan, l have used both 19 & 21 inch tubes on 20 inch rims, neither has caused me any problems. The Avon safety mileage is perhaps not the best tyre to use on the rear of a solo machine hence my reference to the universal (front or rear fitment) roadrunner cover which in my opinion does not look out of place on a standard machine. In fact l think l read somewhere on this forum that Ted Davis prefered this set up, for pressures l would start at 28 front 30 rear and see how it goes. One other thing, security bolts are not really needed with modern rubber and carcass construction, again just my opinion. Good luck, mind how you go....... [/QUOTE]
