    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.

Ok, I've done the search thing, read a bunch of tire threads and did not find a good answer to my question. My bike is spec'd for a 90/90/19 and I bought it with a 100/90/19 installed. I ordered new tires yesterday and I went with the 100/90 again only because I was unaware at the time that it needed the 90/90. What can I expect the handling differences to be on such a small difference in spec? Ordered the Avon Roadriders.

Thanks.
 
100/90 should be fine. Pretty sure that is what I run.

Dan :)
 
Yeah, I know it's going to work but I don't have enough experience to know the handling differences, if any. Hoping to hear from some folks in the know.

Thanks.
 
That is what's on mine. I replaced them 2-years ago and went with the same size that was on it when I got it. No handling problems, not too fat, not too much side wall so that it feels spongy when leaning into a tight curve...just right. :)
 
Hi,

Going one size up on the front will cause you to use a little extra effort in the twisties. But otherwise you'll be fine. What's your rim width?


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
