    32 front 36 rear.. crap I was told 40 on both for commuting or 36 for a more sporty ride. Should the rear always be a little more then the front?

    Maybe I should let a little air out...

    Someone told you wrong. I reckon 32f/36r would be a little too hard as well.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    A piece of strings lenght is the measured area between the begining and the end of any supplied string, this also applies to rope.

    Iwas lead to believe the preasure is better run softer rather than harder for tyre life-wear because the more preasure in the tyre the less contact patch on the ground.
    I have demons on my race bike and the front tyre was wearing or chewing out real bad on the left side [south island tracks] and when i talked to my bike shop about it he suggested i drop the preasures down a bit and has made a big difference both the handleing an wear.

    Or more precisely:
    Exactly twice the lenght from the middle to one end.

    Bugger glad ya said that John, i happen to have brand new BT45s on my steed and was sorta wondering the same bout how long they will last for

    Let us know how they go. I've always considered SportDemons and BT45s to be the shizz for the smaller bikes ie <500cc. They will be great for grip (for you) but I think the extra weight they are carrying will decrease their life considerably. If twas me with a 750 like yours, I'd be going with Pilot 2ct.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
