he deadly with that angle grinder........

[von41]

re tyres.. as tiamo is unable to get on here.... he as asked me to ask you...hold on copy & paste time....

"Von - as i can't get on the sliders forum (as laptop at home won't connet) could you ask S1OPPs how much they pay & if they have a contact?"

might be worth them getting an 'official' series tyre supplier!

we have been quoted £50 each tyer & tube fitted... do you get them cheaper ?

[chazhead]

You my friend are being ripped off.

I paid I think it was £10 quid a tyre and £5 a tube, I will pop in to my man over the weekend and let you know.

[von41]

thanks mate... will tell akey to hold on till you can get back to us...

mucho appreciated frend....

Sorry guys,

I get my tyres off a friend. His son races MX and the tyres we use have done 1 session and were heading for the skip. I'll see if I can beg some more.

Just one word of warning, I bought some inner tubes off fleabay, which seemed like a bargain, but every one of them ripped the valve out after a few laps. I noticed a few people suffering the same.

A few pence saved on inner tubes could cost you a lot of time in the pits.


In all honesty I think £50 per wheel is taking the p*ss.

s1oop, but £50 ouch!!!

I'll see what I can do, no promises though.

I can get as many 'normal' MX tyres as you need, but the 17" tyres for a C90 wheel are a little bit harder to get.

Fitting it easy, as long as you have two screwdrivers!

all help appreciated..... I'm now confused ? akey has posted on MCN that the tyre size is 90/100/16.... I'm sure that the C90 wheel is a 17" well the front one i have here is... 2.50 x 17" is the rear a different size ?

[S1OPP]

Just checked my C90, the MX tyre on it is a 70/100-17

Pretty sure the standard C90 front and rear wheels are the same size. Can't say for definite as my C90 has a different front end, but I'm confident enough to put money on it.

[von41]

just popped out to shed and checked standard front wheel 17" will ask akey tomorrow about the rear... i hope the two wheel's he got are C90 one's, there is the odd fecker out there
