Yeah I had that earlier in the year, welcome to SM’s! We’ve all considered moving to cast wheel like Mad-Dog, but some of us are riding pieces of art so we have to accept the limitations:P
I was out finding some lanes out past Beaconsfield, found some pukka one’s (watch this space for the new westside BCR ) went round a bend, fort this dont feel good, pulled over got a 4 inch nail in back tyre.
Phoned my KTM 24 hr advice line, and managed to get some spray gunk to put in it…never worked, so rode about 30 miles on a flat :ermm:
Seemed great over 40 mph :Whistling:
Think I need to get some breakdown-recovery
So do the tubeless spoked wheels off the 690 smc fit, I’d rather stay spoked…
If not what cast wheels will fit straight on my 625 ?
So what sort of art we talking Sneak’s, defo aint modern
Think I’d have to sell a kidney to get them :w00t:
Cool looking wheels though
I think the way forward is probably to just get some recovery cover, I dont really want to go down the road of cast wheels and any tubeless spoked wheels are gona be sooooooooo expensive
I’ll bare them in mind, if I keep getting punctures
From previous experince they always seem to come in 2’s or 3’s then you dont seem to get them for years, thing is I aint been riding in all the sh*t round london where the cars dont go…this last one was on a country lane
I’m gona sort out some recovery cover and see how it go’s
Somebody told me that if you have a spare tube, the recovery people will fit it rather than tow you away. I always carried spares all the time I had the XT, but never had a puncture (probably because I carried spares ).
I used the heavy duty ones though, not sure how much difference they make.
