[QUOTE="Mark Fisher, post: 41208, member: 510"] I have had problems with the 20" front tyres available in recent years with excessive wear and being out of round, in fact one tyre had to be returned immediately as it had a lump in it! four front tryes in 16000 miles is ridiculous. This was one of the factors that drove me to go to a 21" front wheel as there is a lot more tyre choice. I have not had any issues with the rear tyres so I have stuck with the 19" I use avon roadriders which i'm happy with. After going to the 21" on the front my tyre issues have gone away and to be honest I think the bike handles a bit better than it did. I also feel like the tyre can now cope with the brakes which are 8' club brakes. In short 19" and 21" is the way to go. I still have my 20" wheel complete with brakes as there is nothing wrong with it, and you never know I might need it. mark [/QUOTE]
