Bro Very hard to get the original sizes la. Maybe u can try use these size.

 

Front - 70/90

Back - 80/90

 

Currently I am using the IRC GOLD WINGS tyre. It's a soft compound tyre. Not bad in the rain also got grip!

i see. thanks for the info.

 

but i took the plunge and tried out some new stuffs. I eventually changed to duro soft-compund tyres. Front 70/80, Rear 80/90. So far so good...

hello,

can any one recommend any sport rims or brand of tyres (or a good combination of both) that is more resistant to puncture? im currently using vee-rubber & spoke rims, punctured 3 times since may, very sick and tired already. I heard sports rims is less prone to punctures? corrrect?

 

I don't hope to walk all the way home for 2+ hours from commonwealth again like this morning, or even worse from some other further place...so pls share yr info if u do know, thanks!

[rocka]

yea, i kinda had 3 puncture and my worst encounter is the long staple pin going thru my IRC tyre. SO sick that i changed to sports rims. never had a puncture since then, even some times i pull out quite a big piece of iron grinded piece dunno where it picked up from.

 

in sg, it'll be expensive. but u can have original rims and japanese tyres, if want cheaper go jb lor.

 

another option, i want to change bike, i can let u have mine for some cash.

[limbat]

Does anyone knows if Dunlop TT900 made in Japan is still available - i heard tt the factory has already being moved to Thailand ??? Does anyone also knows the price for those TT900 made in Japan ??

[solo]

hi all,

 

which bike shop in singapore got the original sports rims and japanese tyres ar? how much will they cost?

[dionnaFZ]

dun tink its worth it to change to original rims... cos really ex!!! jb wil be a gd choice... i change my rims(3 spooks) & suspension for 300RM which is really cheap... tyres i suggest u use sg de... though many prefer to change in jb for their cheap price... i change to bt39ss for my tyres (X1)... dunno wave can or not...

 

IRC really cannot make it... change it away, FAST!
