If you are using the bike daily and therefore in the rain BT45are better Road riders are fine in alright weather.
Don't get wrong Ihave Road Riders onmy work bikes but only 'cos I can't get conti tours anymore.
So they are the next cheap option.

1000 tyres were originally tubed, though due to technology tubeless do fit, members on here have done so , however some members still fit tubes , 'cos that's what the book says.

Guys I have difficulty to find tyre.
But a shop offer me a set of bt45 for €160 except the front one is 100-90/18 instead of 100-80/18.
Is it ok to fit this? Or should I simply order them on line and fit them myself ?

Here there are taking about €20 by wheel a bit dear I think...
Cheers

If that's all you can get then it'll have to do.
All the 90 is as opposoded to the 80 is % of the width of the tyre. In this case 10mm
As long as it dosen't foul the mudguard and it shouldn't it will mean your speedo will be out by ............ not enough to worry about really.

yeah it is what I thought.
I know what to do simply get the front tyre order online and ask the shop to fit them as they will be fitting the back, or fitting it myself like a big man.

always nice to have the front tyre fitted for you so they can balance it at the same time imo..
