    What condition is that rear in i could be keen....
    100/80 was standard issue for the rear of the bike. Haven't tried anthing else to know any different.
    Will take those tyres with me this weekend, if things go well I may get up to Taupo and see you there.

    So I get it on!
    Fill it with air, it pops nicely onto the bead.
    Stick it in the bike. give it a roll. and it looks uneven. "Not rideing it like that" I says. Off to the bike shop to get them to balance it.


    It's not the tyre,, it's the rim. It's bent!! he says.

    Dam! Guess crow bars aren't the best thing to change a tyre with then?!
    So there goes my weekends raceing.
    No spare wheel, and this one needs to be sent away to be fixed.
    Lesson learnt.

    Nah! I think some of the clubs have a "control tyre" thing.

    Just like World Superbikes. Just more entertaining than SBK

    Streetstock is open to any street type road registerable mass production machine up to 150cc of any make available on sale in NZ, in standard specification, except for carburetor jetting and external gearing

    I presume that means standard size tyres.
