Re: I wouild like suggestions on Tires

I ware shoes for comfort and function, not looks.
All I see when looking at all that side wall is WOBBLE WOBBLE.
To me, it looks like a sportyer bike with more of a gap in ass end.
Maybe thats just what Im used to to when looking at er while walking away.

Re: I wouild like suggestions on Tires

can someone put a link to the metzler and shinko, a size that will fit on there. i just need to order a rear tire. i already learned the hard way and ordered a 120 70 18 for the front, i had no idea what i was doing. i just dont want to mess it up again. and my brain is hurting to do too much reasearch atm. thanks, and sean if you have any good used mez or shinko's hit me up.
 
Re: I wouild like suggestions on Tires

couldn't you also accelerate faster if your rear tire is a bit smaller?

gotcha. i was more worried that u got a 120 rear, i figured u were right on with the front..
 
Re: I wouild like suggestions on Tires

i've been running the shinko for about a month. not bad for the price. sucks when installation cost almost as much as the tires...
