Hi
I need to replace the tyres on my C Rapide.There are small splits,mostly in the rear tyre due to the bike standing for 8 years.
After reading tyre posts here I notice there's quite a few differing rim sizes on the bikes and tyre choice/range differs depending
on rim size. There doesn't seem to be a standard.
I have Avon Speedmaster Mk2 3.00 20" front and Avon SM Mk2 3.25/3.50 19" rear and looks like I can get these from 'Vintage Tyres'.
Also interested in trying the Roadriders as I have these on my BMW R60/6 but there doesn't seem to be a 20" available.
There's not a lot of clearance on the rear near the chainguard for anything much wider than the SM Mk2.
Any help appreciated.
