thanks john were do i go from here??? i had a new dunlop come they are real bad,ok if the bikes in a show room, my old tyre got 3 times as much tred on it as the new one, but it cracking round the side walls, the question is if you put a tube tyre on a tube less rim with a tube a security bolts will it hold has any one tryed that, nice to find out before i have the wheel rebuilt, or just put on a tube less rim and use a tube aswell??
-
Does any one know if you can still get good 400/19 trials tyres, i had a new dunlop tyre come yesterday and quality is CRAP so it going back, i think i will be better of to rebuild the wheel to 400 /18.
