| Front tyre profile
Ok folks, what front tyre profile are you all running. I was not aware of a choice until the last meeting at Brands. Alan and Paul were looking at my flat front tyre and we were discussing options, Alan very kindly offered to let me use one he had in the van (I did not fancy fitting a new one just before the race) he also pointed out that it had a 70 profile and proceeded to exploit the merits of such a tyre and Paul agreed with him. Never having bought tyres for this bike I had never been given an option on profile. So I decided to take the advice, get new tyres and fit a 70 profile font. I have now been reading on another Ducati owners site about the merits of the 70 front but there was a cautionary note which said that you have to drop the yokes down the fork legs by 12mm in order to maintain the same geometry? This is not an option for me as the forks are up to the bars. Any thoughts anyone?
