Transporting Tyres on the bike
Long story short - I'm getting my tyres changed because I've got about 3k miles to do on the continent in Sept. The current tyres are far from dead but I doubt they will last the trip so therefore I need to bring the pair of tyres back with me on the bike this coming Saturday. Motorway all the way.
I'm thinking bungees... Any pointers? |

Re: Transporting Tyres on the bike
Put a bit of wood over the back side of pillion seat, rest the tyres on this. Ratchet strap around the lot, jobs a gud 'un.

Re: Transporting Tyres on the bike
Well I've found some ratchett straps, and my bungees, but can't seem to find any suitable pieces or wood and definitely don't have a backpack frame.
Could try wearing two tyres I guess...hmmm |

Re: Transporting Tyres on the bike
You got a 17" waist? Pedrosa isn't that small!
