Thanks Ian. What about milage and centre stand operation?

Dave, I've got Avon Roadriders on both wheels. Can't remember the sizes - maybe 4.00-18 on rear and 100x18 on front. Something to do with markings for direction of rotation. I think 4.00-18 is specified for both front and rear in the book.

Which tyres do you use on your Loop? I've been using a 4.00/18 Avon SM on the rear, and a 3.50/18 K82 on the front for several years with no problems, but I wonder if something else might be better.I use the SM rear because it gives around eight to ten thousand miles of use before it is scrapped, and a lower profile tyre makes it difficult to get the bike onto the centre stand.K82's wear out very quickly on the rear wheel but seem to last ages on the front.I do like high mileage tyres
So, what do other Loop riders use? |
