Nc24 / NC 30 rear wheel switch adventure

[Will86]

sorry, been busy as my other bike is in the process of killing itself via oil in coolant suicide.

Mixing tire types is exactly what I am doing at the moment (BT45 front). Didn't even consider it really, what difference in feeling does that make? (Not sure what to look out for).

Also, I can confirm that the brakes need some "encouragement" when you start to push...

There are a load of photos from mallory on this website...

"Can I change my tires from bias ply to radial or vice versa?

Bias and radial tires have significantly different dynamic properties. They deflect differently, create different cornering forces, have different damping characteristics, as well as other differences. In order for radial tires to be introduced into the two-wheel market, it was necessary to change certain characteristics of the motorcycle. The introduction of the radial tire led to such things as modified frames, wider wheels, new steering geometries and suspensions. Therefore, it is recommended that a motorcycle be used with the type of tire construction that it came with originally. If a change is to be made, then it should only be done if the motorcycle or tire manufacturer has approved the change. Above all, do not mix bias ply and radial tires on the same motorcycle unless it is with the approval of the motorcycle or tire manufacturer."

have you actually run the bike with stock 130/70 - 100/90-16 in bt45s before?


some oddball bikes are setup for mix and match and come like it from the factory, especialyl sporty cruisers, the 24 was designed for bias tyres.

tried a biek once with mix and match and the front felt very disconnected from the rear, was much improved with proper tyres.
