I've got some BT 002s. Older technology but exceedingly cheap and good enough for anything I plan on doing. The old take the wheels in trick huh? Well, yes. That would be the smartest option wouldn't it... Corsas should be pretty decent. I've not used the others so can't comment. But I've had some fun on Diablos before (on a Duc). They were quite nice, didn't track them though.

yeah the corsa III is tempting because of hard centre section on the rear... to give me extra kms with all the commuting i do...

If so I think your place is going to become fairly popular. For what it's worth, if you are changing both at the same time, some people will change the tyres for free. When I got my tyres changed, I think it cost me about $40 or so for both. Done while you wait. Let me know how you get on. I have tyres ready to be put on for Xmas EC.

I don't think anybody has tyre changing equipment, though I sometimes think we should get a club tyre machine, but that's for another day. If you take your rims in, most bike shops will fit tyres for free, but if you take your bike in most will charge you - I think Procycles charge about $50 per rim to change 'em for you . The idea is that Owen rips his rims off, borrows a car and drives the rims to the dealer, get's the new hoops fitted then re-fits the rims.

correctomundo dave!!!

well i can forget the procycles option...

might do mcas in the city or northside motorcycles depending on the tyre i go for....

the other option is buy hoops and get em fitted before the first session at EC on the 13th dec...

I think you should pop down to eastern creek when there a ride day and change them there cost $10 each if you have them ready..

I also know some shops will also do it for around that price

EC can be a good option, but Procycles are free if you take only rims in. The exorbitant cost is only if they've got to take the rims off the bike.

ring me if you need my stands, whenever is cool..you can park it in the garage etc etc.. have tools etc etc.
