Just put on Avon Trailriders today. Lots mores feedback than the Pirellis. And in my opinion look much better!

The only time I got a puncture in 30+ years was 20 years ago. A nail in my rear, which was easily fixed with a can of fixaflat.

I consider this a risk I can bear.

The only thing I never liked about tubes is that they are harder to install by yourself unless they are bicycle tires which I used to be able to do with a flathead screwdriver and my hands.

Hey guys,

Got my shinkos on today. Only had time for a quick spin around the block but they feel good! Tomorrow I’ll be canyon riding and giving them alil dirt scramble test.

Here’s how they look.

Btw I did have to put a 3mm spacer in two of the fender bolts to get the tire to clear..

Ed those trailiders are sick! Look amazing. I was going to get those but got such a sweet deal on the shinkos I thought I’d at least try

Did you end up putting a tube in the front tire or did you leave it out?

 

[Edward Cordovez]

Thanks bud, I almost went with the Shinkos but sprung for the Avons because of the good reviews. Your bike looks great!

 

[nokfir2]

There’s a tube in the front only

Did it come with the front tire or did you have to purchase it separately?

 

[nokfir2]

Tunes don’t come with tires, you have to buy one

What about jingles?

Alright thanks for the update I’ll have to decide between the Trailriders and the Shinkos when my MT-60’s wear out and by the way I knew you meant tubes not tunes.

So i put about 100 miles on them today, Very Impressed.

once warmed up they are very sticky. not what i was expecting. I have no worries about cornering hard.

The front tire likes to turn in fast, and stay turned! you actually have to pick the bike back up when youre leaning hard on a turn. Feels really great.

Did some dirt roads as well. Handle and stick great.

No complaints, Happy with my purchase

Glad to hear, now I’m just curious to see how loony they last as compared to the stock MT-60’s. Especially since they are almost half the price.

I’m meant long instead on looney

My scrambler with TKC80s front and rear. The rear is the stock size, with tube. The front is a 4.00X18 rear tire mounted in reverse, also with tube. I'm expecting to get somewhere between 400-4500 miles out of the rear and probably over 6000 miles out of the front tire. The tires perform surprisingly well on pavement. They'll lean, and grip, a lot more than I'm typically comfortable doing on knobby tires. I will say that they are pretty loud, lots of hum/whine above 30mph, but once I'm above 65mph the wind noise overrides the road noise. Offroad they are incredible! The trails I ride vary by season, but are usually either soft sand or thick mud depending on rainfall. I've been stuck once and that was more rider error than any fault of the tire.

Edward,

Is that the stock size on the rear, and a Rear 110/80-18 on the front? Thanks
