[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 50564, member: 161"] Interesting to read Glen's comments. My tyres and rim sizes certainly don't appear to match recommendations. My rear tyre is an Avon Roadrider 100/90 x 19" and is fitted to a WM2 rim. The front tyre is a 90/90 x 19" on a Dunlop alloy rim marked WM1 (2 [SIZE=3]1/4[/SIZE]) x 19. The front rim is definitely on the narrow side for the tyre but the bike steers and handles well. I'm not suggesting that it is an ideal setup but it has worked without any problems for a lot of miles. The wheels used are those that came in the basket case from which the bike was assembled. When funds are available the wheels will be rebuilt with probably WM2 front and WM3 rear rims. It will be interesting to see how different the tyres feel on wider rims. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
