    You'd think you fellas would be queing up at the pits with the nats going on down there ? Be truckloads of Metzler or dunlop, one race tyres up for grabs there that racers won't wanna drag home !!
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Im still not convinced a 190 is the best option on a 5.5 rim but its up to him.

    No problem,the rim size thing got me thinking and i am pretty sure there was guys using 190s on 916/748s with a 5.5 rim.

    yea there is all sorts of info with tyre sizing online.. I looked on some tyre manufacturer sizing and for instance Dunlop produces some 190's which are designed for a 5.5" rim etc.

    And yea I've seen a few 190's on older 5.5" bikes, old ZXR750's and such.

    Once I chuck it on the blade and have ridden it will report back on what its like I'v done it before, took the old 170 off an zxr750h1 and put on a 190 and rode it comfortably as normal.. I dont remember thinking it was worse anyway.

    Feeling pretty happy after removing my old tyre off the rim using 1 tyre lever, 1 screw driver, some chopped up garden hose as rim protectors and a length of 4X2 and a block of wood as a bead breaker.. plus the gap under the house as fixing point for the lever to break the bead. Went not too bad!

    now when the replacement tyres arrive I'll see if I can get one on again!

    I thought the thing would have been there by now to be honest.
