What's the go with the rear tyre?? I see a lot of pix on this site with this rear tyre, what's the go??? Cheers Kel
Hey TE 250 Girl, it looks great! Who makes the wraparound fork guards? @ ozzie: it's a trials tyre. Good compromise if you ride a lot of steep single track with slick rocks, roots and whatnot where a knobbly will spin and shred itself. OK on tarmac too (although the soft compound ones will tear - I use a Pirelli MT43 which holds up well). Good on hard-pack, reasonable on gravel and loamy stuff too, but not good in slick mud or on grass. But tyres is always a compromise.
I am no expert, but cooling is also a consideration in a skid pan. Look at the stock guards, they have holes in them for air flow. The P3 looks nice, but CF or plastic in a skid pan is not for me. Aluminum is the way to go for a offroad rider, imo.
