#495851 Georgeherrin (User) Ride to Live Junior Boarder Posts: 187 Re:I have gone to the Darkside... 12 Months ago   I am new to the forum rode bikes from 15 to 25 then nothing. I accuired my 2002 roadstar Mid night edition in Nov 11 put new tires on and 4500 later I need a rear tire. I ride daily. Started out to New orleans yesterday and realized I best not try it on the rear. sucks ruined my weekend. My question is what about this Austone tire on a spoke wheel. should I buy the tube for the tire or will my tube I have work. I see those in this have spokeless wheels. Any thoughts.   Logged     George Herrin 2002 Road Star Midnight Edition   The administrator has disabled public write access. #495857 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata !

I had them mounted and balanced and I installed them myself and I made sure rear wheel was aligned properly, I dont ride hard BUT I ride roughly 80 to 100 miles daily unless I know its gonna rain. And I must say the front tires is not far from needing a new one either. I cannot afford tires every few months. I dont remember putting tires on that often when I was alot younger and rode them alot harder.   Logged     George Herrin 2002 Road Star Midnight Edition   The administrator has disabled public write access. #495874 Georgeherrin (User) Ride to Live Junior Boarder Posts: 187 Re:I have gone to the Darkside... 12 Months ago   Thanks for the welcome guys.

Few years ago i got about 7k out of each but they were so cupped it was crazy..and Im a stickler for watching air pressure.   Logged     ...Scott   The administrator has disabled public write access. #495887 Ricohoc (User) I am a man of peace, but I adore a riot!

And yup I checked pressures everytime I got on it. But even at 10,000 miles i would be putting tires on at least 3 times a year. if my current amount of miles keeps up. I truly enjoy ridong my son and my daughter love riding with me too. Anyone have any thoughts on the tube I should use with spoked wheel and the austone tire.   Logged     George Herrin 2002 Road Star Midnight Edition   The administrator has disabled public write access. #495965 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 8062 Re:I have gone to the Darkside... 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Georgeherrin, I have my CT mounted on a spoked wheel, just use the same size tube that you would other wise. Also don't use balance weights, use dyna-beads, 2-3oz will do just fine, put them in the tube before you mount the tire (makes it easier to get them all in). I also inflate my tires with Nitrogen, and never have to worry about tire pressure.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #495967 Georgeherrin (User) Ride to Live Junior Boarder Posts: 187 Re:I have gone to the Darkside... 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Georgeherrin, I have my CT mounted on a spoked wheel, just use the same size tube that you would other wise.

Now to find Dyna beads thanks so much.   Logged     George Herrin 2002 Road Star Midnight Edition   The administrator has disabled public write access.
