180 or 190 on a 6\" rim Hi, just bought a pair of magnesium rims and the rear is a 6". Will I need to put a 190 on the rear or will my new 180 fit.Old wheels were 5.1/2 " Also does any one know of any decent people who can strip and repaint them,not sure about doing it myself.They need to be in the south :D Many thanks |matt:sing: |
You have Dymag who will do a sterling job, not sure where they are based but it is in the south, or you could ask Colin at Oxford Industrial Finishers who will also do a very good job (01865 882883). [Edited on 28-1-2006 by dave996] |
190 on a 6 incher. |
JHP put a 180 on my 6inches (OOOh er missus) and tgere was some plausible reason which I cannot remember. Worked more than fine though... |
Thanks guys might try my 180 and see what its like as its new :burn: Matt |
6 inch should definately be a 190. I had a 180 on my mag 6 inch when i got the bike and it was awful...the narrow tyre is stretched across the rim width giving a flat profile that , even though the tyre was new, it behaved like a really badly squared off tyre...snaked all over white lines/overbanding and was a sod to turn. 190 and it was transformed...the proper tyre profile. The ideal fitment would be a 190/55, but there aren't many options in that size apart from supercorsas or the new dunlop 209 gps for example. [Edited on 29-1-2006 by Harv748] |
Thanks hav supercorsas sound good to me:sing: Run ex-race rennsports all year on my fazer6 and on my track bike love them to bits,so supercorsas would be great on the duke :roll: Matt |
you can also get the 190/55 in rensports. I have them on mine and they are great. tried the 190/50 and it looked flat |
Got a set of mags for my 996 with a 6 inch rear, was told 190 section was the right size. Sent them away to Dymag for a referb too £220 but includes a check over for saftey and peice of mind address and details here Darren |
Thanks Darren,have sent them an e-mail :roll: Pro v twins said about £250 Just looking for some 190s now:bouncy: Matt |
