so i got a new tyre....BUT

[flyin]

i wasn't saying they were "cheap" as such, in fact cost around the same as the perelli you picked up, I'm well aware not to go for the budget alternative as far as tyres go (suspension, brakes too.....) just that the dudes at the shop were fully talking them up, so were the dudes at another shop i asked..... sayin he uses them on all his bigger bikes yadayada...... oh well what would they know!!

so i've got a few votes against the IRC's (still dont feel dodge to me, and i'm lookin at gettin sum sliders for ma knees..!?!)

coupla big ups for the pireilli sports demon.... maybe i'll have to thrash over to wanga's and see our m8 at cycletreads (finish off the old one on the way...)

cycletreads are good, if you want anything from there though u have ask the guys at the shop to get you a tyre brought in, and it would take overnight for the tyre to arrive.

i went to a shop called joe lett, from cycletread going away from town it two streets down i think, theres two bike shops on the street and its the second one dwon the road, they had the perelli tyres stocked in the shop. so if you gona get one go there, saves you having to do two trips!

...sure enough my back tyre was...wait for it...3 SIZES TOO BIG for my bike!!! ...so i went from a 160/60/17 to a 130/60/17...bike goes much better too...

Lol, the previous owner obviously coveted the fattest tyre he could possibly fit to that rim! I too like a fat rear tyre but it must come fitted to the proper bike.

Kind of reminds me of all these 'boy/man racers' who fit humungous exhaust pipes (often just extensions) to their cages and try and fly to the moon - all is vanity!

When I bought the turbo it had a 160 squeezed onto the 3.5" rim......
