carlos Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Once the bead has ''popped'' onto the rim (40-80 psi) your good to go, drop it down to 3 - 4 psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy53 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I have to admit I was a little lazy, I have not yet installed the rear Dunlop 803GP I bought a month ago. I now think that the old Dunlop front won't stay on the bike either. I can buy here Michelin, Pirelli, IRC or new Dunlop front. Any comment on your experience ?

wheelieman14 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Pirelli MT43 "trials tire" sidewall is too stiff for use on a trials bike. Vee Rubber 4.00x18 has a softer sidewall than the Vee Rubber 4.25x18 trials tire. I liked the Michelin X-Light tires, but are too expensive for my budget. I tried Dunlop D803GP front and rear to replace the Michelins and I'm pretty happy with their traction running at 6.5 psi Front & 5 psi Rear when practicing. If it gets slippery, or I'm competing, I like to run 5 Front & 3.5 to 4 Rear. In the USA, we can only buy Michelin X-Light, though I see the new bikes are still being shipped with Michelin X11 (probably the best tire, if you can find it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy53 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 So the 803GP front is working for you ? ( with the 803GP back ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelieman14 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 So the 803GP front is working for you ? ( with the 803GP back ) Yes, the D803 GP front & rear tire seem as good to me as the Michelin X-Light tires that I used before this set.

guy53 Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 front 803GP is on the way and I will skip a ride to put both front and rear on the bike. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 If you@re changing tyres at home a beader is very useful to have, simplifies job of popping them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy53 Posted November 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Yes nigel dabster I will do the job at home, I am thinking using a mountain bike tube as advice by peterh. I have a new tube for the front, is there something ( apart from cleaning the rim ) I should be aware off for the rear . Again it's my first tubeless change.
