Tubeless is a safer Tires range..as they will stay in control or in shape even punctured on the Road provided...that you do not remove the needle/debris stuck on the Tyre......

 

 

Tube type runs on tube that has air pumped directly into it so if punctured, u know rite?

 

So thats the main difference.......

possiblely u could get it several places... like HKL (Alexandra V.), LAb, whole Ubi, Enous indus.....

 

If Im not wrong..sport rim is standard size and tyre u could get 80/89(front) and 90/80 (Rear) for better grib.

 

else normal use can choose 80/80 and 80/90.

 

Dunlop tyre (model TT900) is good enough for wave it may cost 30 each (from JB) or better tyre is Battlax cost 60-70 each in s'pore(not available from JB)...

 

Shock, u may use MIKUKU or GPR (this one abit soft) at LAB try to bargain 30-40... or u can go Yishun indus get GAZI this will cost higher ,much stiff and nice... anyway Mikuku is hard enough and cheap!

 

 

 

Hope this will help ba....

I also wan to know for the Y125Z leh... the 2 stroke bike sport rim...

In Singapore, the majority of us live in Highly Dangerous Buildings (<u>HDB</u>),

And most people have already got used to Paying and Paying (<u>PAP</u>).

 

Not only do you have to pay, you Pay Until Bankrupt (<u>PUB</u>).

 

If that's not enough, somebody still Purposely Wants to Dig (<u>PWD</u>) and get

more from you.

 

So what more can you do when you are in the Money Only Environment (<u>MOE</u>)?

Duro is very soft tyre. Especially for these with high profile type (eg. xx/90 type).

I have bad experience with this tyre. It came off from the rim when it get puncture.

Low profile hard tyer still can ride 20km/hrs when it get punctured. Be it tube or tube less, try to stick to low profile tyres 70/80, 80/80 or 90/80.

i dun think it will werk eh. I myself never hear of such a thing to do. I'm using tubeless tires myself but i insert tube. but isn't the ruber band thingy suppose to be there for spoke rims?

Living is the only thing worth dying for.
