Metzeler Racetec 190/55 17 - SV650.org

26-03-10, 09:14 PM

I bought this tyre off a mate who did 4 laps on it. I managed one bloody lap on it at Croft today before picking up a small nail (on a race track! Go figure!)

So it'll need a mushroom repair. The puncture is just off the centre of the tyre. Its virtually brand new. No rips or tears, not chewed up.

I'll leave the nail in so you can find it.

£50 ono Inc delivery... or swap for a 180/55 race scrub.

Was the 185 the one you said would REALLY suit my bike, Carl?

You could squeeze a 180/55 on. The one I had was there for you to take away!

190 is way too big for the SV though.

Right size for my bike, but don't really have a need for it, (want yes

)

I've got a matching front (120/70) if anyone want a pair?

£90 delivered for the pair.

Fantastic thanks! Inital laps were at a grandma like 2 minutes but ended up doing under 1.40's. Rain stopped play on the final two sessions. Things would have been faster if it hadn't been for the 40mph blustery cross winds. Overall, a great day.

Saw your partner in crime there too.

He said you were at work. You should have thrown a sicky!
