Re: Tires

thanks for the confidence. so after getting the wheel off and looking all the way around the tire i found a sliver of glass embedded in it and thought that's why my tire was flat, so then i get the tire off and see that the tube (which is an IRC by the way) had been previously patched and that just ...

Re: 2 busted inner tubes

not sure if posting the same thing on 2 or more threads is frowned upon or even noticed, but i got a flat on my 89 elite e today and was just wondering: A) where to go to have the tube and possibly the tire replaced B) does the tire even need to be replaced as long as the tube is good to go (there's...

Re: Tires

i was curious about the solid rubber tubeless tires, more specifically, does a set exist that will fit my 89 sb50p's ten inch wheels? the current tires are 2.50x10 and are only rated for 187lbs (i weigh about 260).

if such a tire does not exist, what is my best option for tubes?

Re: Rider Weight for SE50 Elite
