I was messing around and hosed myself. I let to much air out of my tires and I must have pinch a hole in the tube. So now I have a flat rear tire. Does anyone make Heavy Duty tubes for the fiddys, if so wheres the best place to order them?

Also, whats a good wider tire for street and dirt. I dont want a dirt tire thats to soft and will wear out quickly, but Im not sure that I want a supermotard tire when I ride off rode. Any suggestions?

 

yes they make heavy duty tubes they are made by moose or they are one company that makes them i run a z in motard and i like the chieng shien trails scooter tires they work great on the pavement and the dirt
im not sure but i would almost bet you can get them in 10" too

 

Thanks for the reply Z50. I stayed up most of the night digging around, and found that there are several companies that make HD tubes that will fit 50s. Im going to try out the MSR Gold Medal HD tubes, I can get them from any Rocky Tucker dealer. Im still trying to decide on tires. I think Im just going to try a set of 3.00x10 Cheng Shin C917s. They are cheap enough, if I dont like them Im not out much.

Are there any problems running a 3.00 tire on a stock rim? Im guessing there are lost of peeps on here that do it, I just want to make sure.

What about gearing, did you change gearing with 3.0 wide tires?

 

in the front im running a 3.50x8 and on the rear a 4.00x8
stk gearing normally,if the track is tight i go down 1 tooth on the c/s if its a more open then i add 1

 

On a XR/CRF50 a 3.5 inch tire wont work on a stock swingarm and tire, a 100/90-10 will clear, but only by milli-meters, it will probably rub if it expands any while riding. A 3.0 or 2.75 or 90/90-10 fit the best. I ordered a set of 90/90-10 Kenda K413s yesterday. We shall see how they work with stock gearing.

 

im gonna have some michelin sl1 scooter race tires in a few days.....can wait gonna be a blast,..............

 

where are you guys buying your street tires from

and anyone know where i can get a spare se of rims pretty cheap?

 

I bought my tires from Denniskirk. Any local dealer that carries Rocky Tucker or Parts Unlimited can probably get them for you however. If you find a place to get CHEAP rims let me know. Ebay is the only place you might be able too.
