90/90 21" road tyre wanted asap

[Devil]

Anyone got a roady type tyre in the above size available to get rid of/sell?

Got a bike being ridden from AKL to nelson on sat and it's got a TKC80 on the front at the moment and that's just a waste of a tyre for the trip.

Anakee/Tourance/scorpion/anything

Will be on an F650GS Dakar.

Fair price paid.

I have a 90/90 21 Scorpion that came as a spare on the 990 so it's probably a couple of years old and about half worn. Free to a good home Matt, PM if it suits, I'm in Hillsborough.

Sheesh most places are out of stock of everything. Distributors dont have any tourances (or exps), or anakee's, or scorpions.

Devil's advocate here: it'll cost you more to swap tyres than the extra rubber you'll burn. It's not like the TKC80 front is a short-lived knobbly or summat.

Don't know what you pay but It costs me nothing to change my tyres myself and only takes 15 minutes at most to do a front and that's stopping for coffee too.

But when it's already on cheap and the fitting is included...

Just happens to be a convenient solution.

Me too, but I wouldn't bother unless I was saving at least the price of a few decent beers. As in, at least as many beers as I'd drink while changing the tyre.

TKC80 front cost me $11.27 to run for 1000km. If the new tyre cost you nothing to run, you'll save all of $11.27 but have paid for fitting and be out of pocket a new tyre (fitting is included in the price - it ain't free). More like the new tyre will cost maybe $10.00 / 1000km to run if it's more economical, saving all of $1.27 over the trip to Nelson. You'd do two tyre changes to save $1.27?? Okay, projected savings'll be $2.54 if you ride the bike back again. If the tyre is slightly sportier compound you could burn more $$$ off it than the TKC80, on top of your changing time & effort and/or money.

Just sayin'.

TKC80 rears melt, fronts last forever in comparison. I'd understand if you wuz changing the rear, the last one for me cost $53 / 1000km - my most expensive tyre so far.

Except it's pretty much a road only tyre which the owner doesn't currently have, so when we get around to doing our south island lap it'll be very handy as we'll only be doing a little dry gravel! Save the TKC for when it's needed.

[warewolf]

True; AKL to NSN then lap of the mainland is quite a bit different to AKL-NSN.
