    Don’t worry about ur legs flapping like superman
    Tape ur hands to the grips and let the big girl go ………..u don’t get as sore arms when they r fully stretched

    B)
    mx extras r good cheap at torpedo 7 sometimes as well i think i usede a mc 5 or 6 once as well
    lasted well to start with but as soon as there were any signs of wear it was rooted
    i think if u want to ride off rd you’ll just have to put up with wearing them out quicker on road

    I agree Rocket but even that can be hard, we are blessed with so many places to ride within an hour of us and they all cover just about every different terain you could think of.

    Does a tube make any difference in grip? ie. a standard tube verses an ultra heavy tube run at the same pressure, does the heavier tube act as extra strength to the tyre? giving you that feeling of a higher presure when riding.
    A weird thought I know but it made me wonder.

    I rated the MX Extras pretty high I can tell ya ;) Awsome Tyres !!! But yeah, the non DOT approval was the only reason I didn`t buy any more (would love to give one a run on the 690 snd still might yet) :whistle:

    Looks like I am gonna get close to 4000 or more out of my MT rear, more out of the front ;)
    Pretty happy with them so far (getting used to the front too) :laugh:

    Rotate the front Eags before it starts heel and toeing ;)

    Did that mate after the Wisemans day out ;)

    Cheers
