DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just got a nice little project bike with only 7k miles on it and the tires are probably the originals! The sizes are 90/90-19 and 110/90-17 and needless to say they need replacement.

After reading here and searching, those specific sizes are practically unobtainable, with 100/90-19 and 120/90-17 considered to be a good alternative. Still, with the rear I'm finding my choices limited with some suggesting using a front tire on the rear.

Can this bike/rim handle a 130/90-17? That would open up a lot more choices. Also, if I where to attempt to make these rims tubeless, any advice from someone who has made it work would be appreciated. TIA.
