Tire Options for our CB1100

[Tev62]

I literally, yesterday, put on a T32. bridgestone. rode it this morning, extended ride in, it's brilliant handling.

don't get me started on the darkside weirdos, the concours group had a lot of those guys as well.

I also don't realistically get the aversion to tubes, (ive heard the arguments and think most are bs) ... most of my bikes are spoked wheels, would love to get a set of spoked rims for my '14. I can count on 1 hand the number of flats i've had int he past 20 years, and i ride all my bikes a lot. but to each their own.

It can be feast or famine. I have been very unlucky the last few years with multiple punctures. When in a group last year, I got a puncture far from home, but had it fixed in 10 minutes at little inconvenience to the group. A few months back in another group a fella got a puncture on his tubed wheel, had to get towed and took a ride home in a car. He spent hours and hours arguing with the breakdown service who only wanted to take him to a local bike shop for repair and not back home. The bike shops were closed (Sunday) It was a total faff.

I'll never buy a tubed bike again. Some forum members will know I had my EX-wheels converted to Tubeless by Bartfactory in Italy, great job it was too and a pair of Bridgestone T31's in stock size went on.
