Re:

Very good.

Gave her a wash and put some summer tyres on - charge splashbacks as the front farmer john was nearly gone and the wonderdawg on teh back had two great big rips in the sidewall.

2.1s are a bit tight in the front as the wheel needs truing to fouls the U brake arch slightly.





And with his brother e stay kili:

Looks great , the 2.1's are huge , the 1.8's are more like a 1.95 and will be better inside a u brake or two

Surprised how big they were considering. And might just be my feebleness but they seemed to be the tightest tyres I have put on a bike in years, nearly gave myself a hernia putting them on.

Will order some 1.9s sometime for it, ready for summer

Yes i gotta agree those tyres look massive sat inside the u brakes but over all it looks real special and that kili looks well mate ..

Re:

Thank you

Has 1.8s now which are a lot better but a knee op means its been sat unused for 6 weeks. Ready for winter though!

1.8s are plenty big enough and if your out like myself then that 6 weeks not being able to get out on a bike will be a real killer and i love riding out in the snow although last time round i didn't fair to well on a patch of ice due to the tyres being to firm :facepalm: ..

So 1.8's area lot better.

Not been used recently following a knee op, taken out few times in the last week as im building up muscle and have to take it easy. Hoping to use it as normal this winter.
