    Tyre choice

    Tyre sizes and pressures?

    My tyres have just about reached the end of their useful life. I have Dunlop Sportsmart3 front 120 and rear 190. They have worn very well with about 4500 miles on them. I ran them with 33psi front and rear. They took a little while in the cold to warm up and in this warm weather were nice...

    Tyre wear.

    Hey, am looking at a new T, The front tyre looks like this I haven't seen that kind of wear before, is it a bad omen? These are metzeler racetec rr, am guessing these are pretty focussed tyres, will they be ok on the road and in the rain? Any advice would be appreciated. P

    90° Tyre Valves

    It's a bit tricky getting your hand in to check your tyre pressure or even chuck some air in but on my mates bike,I have just seen valves that come out at a 90° angle!!! What a cracking idea. Has anyone else got them fitted to their bikes? My mate said Demon Tweeks sell them.
