Make a donation to OBT and I’ll change it for you mate. I quite enjoy it now.

You get it off the bike and bring it to the Grade 3 drinking quickshade. You have to put air in it too. I hate that bit.

Make sure you have a HD tube or put 6 or more pinches in it. :laugh:

Don’t know whats in the front apart from air :dry:

By the way its a deal

And i want new tyres twice a day or at least a new edge after every ride

I usually will change someones tyre for a ride myself but I know what you ride Bob so maybe not this time. Unless of course you buy one of those fandangled new WR 450s TB promised you.

S12 on the rear will look rather 2nd hand after that weekend I bet. My old D 952 on the rear holds up well for it’s age.

you still getting the pirelli axel it may be cheaper with a 13 tooth sprocket :silly:

Your fav shop doesn’t have any of your tyres Rockit. I’ll look around for that 13t front tomorrow ad will bring it around for you to test this weekend.

I’ve got a Dunlop Geomax MX51 front 90/100 and a Pirelli Scorpion MX extra X rear 110/100

But I can school Galey with used tyres on Monday so they won’t be put on until before the Birthday Ride. :laugh:

Have you tried a 90/100×21 before? I had 2 rides on a Bridgy M203 90/100 with a mousse (sized for 80/100) and it felt good.

I have a new one sat in the garage, I’m going to stick it on for this weekend along with a IRC M5B in a 130/100 flavour and mousse for desert. Never tried an IRC before.

I have a 90/100 on it now and its great, might try a MX71 one day, the side knobbies might stay on longer in the rocks

This is my third 500+cc KTM
Have tried others but keep coming back to IRC’s
You will be happy with your choice, Moto. :woohoo:
God help anybody who gets caught behind you. 👿 👿

It was your love affinity for them that made me try it Murph. Now there will be 2 x 500cc+ big bores with IRC’s on the back. Lookout! Maybe we should get one for Medogrocket too 😆

I would have gone the 140 if it wasn’t too big for the mousse. To be honest though, the 130 doesn’t look all that wide, it just has usual 12″ knobbies you get with an IRC

True…

I will watch with interest as I like the IRCs but stopped running them because i keep snapping knobs of them because they are too hard and the knobs don’t flex (well that’s what the Rep told me as well as I I must spin the tyre up too much :unsure: ) one of mine even made a trailrider mag destroyed with 238 kms on it :laugh: That said they are a well constructed case and very punture resistant

Recently on a ride we stopped at Dargo, home of the famous and very cluey Dargo Dan. He said one of the biggest mistakes he sees guys that come riding up there is guys run hard compound tyres because it’s hard and rocky there. He went on to explain how a softer tyre compound will flex and wont tear knobs out or chunk as much. To be honest it made me rethink what I do and ride on I have since got nearly 1200kms out of a Geomax and it’s not even half worn and I reckon I am riding as fast as I ever have. Just putting it out there as food for thought

My new/old bike is running Michelin cross AC 10’s.They are the ones that came with the bike.I normally run Kendas and in three years i am yet to have a flat…touch wood :unsure:
Any one know anything about these tyres ? Are they crap and am i doomed if they touch the fine loam/rocks of Sunny Corner?
Plenty of tred on the front as its a CRF and the front wheel very rarely touches the ground. :ohmy:
About 70 – 80 % on the rear.

Bol :woohoo:

Hey Bol , I ran a rear AC10 on my Drz on the 1st Cameron ride , it’s a great tyre for fast long distance and seems harder and not so affected by heat , not sure in the singles though , I think they could be too hard and unpredictable !!

I’m sure someone else will have used them in the singles ???
