    FXR rims, but what size tubes?

    Apologies for starting this thread as I know its been covered before. I searched, but couldn't find any relevant posts.

    Could someone let me know what size inner tubes I should be running with slicks on standard FXR rims. Slick sizes are F 95/75R17 and R 115/75R17. Read here somewhere that you want to run tubes that are slightly too small, but have no idea what that might actually equate too.

    If it doesn't bring a tear to your eye, add a little more fully synth 2T to the mix.

    I agree, I loaned out a wheel half way through a 2 hour as their tube was poked they retired a little later when the other tubed tyre also went flat

    What they said, either get bolt up tu less stems or drill the holes out to take standard ones.
    Tubes are a massive pain, develop holes due to the low pressures we run and make beading up tyres that much harder.
    Stock is best

    Cool thanks for the advice. I'll go tubeless.
