tipfinchy please let us know how you get on with them. I’d also like to try a similar style tyres, but was advised the dragon corsas wouldn’t get hot enough to work properly with an LC weight bike? Jon Hi Jon i use Pirelli dragon Supercorsas on my hybrids (RGV wheels). I use them in SC1 compound, the logic being, the bike is so light and makes relatively little power that such a soft compound will warm up but not be worn out too quickly by massive power. Well, i cannot fault them, they are fantastic, wouldn't want to use them in the wet though! They are expensive and after having a rear on order for five months (supply problems due to an uncommon size, covid and brexit!) i gave up and ordered one from Germany which took threeish weeks. I was thinking about RS10's but they are quite hard to get to and have now been superseded by RS11's, but they are not made in the right size for an RGV rear! HTH Mouse

They look sticky, and someone had fun with the CAD design on that tread.....look ace. How long have you been waiting for them? Ordered them late Friday knowing mrs would be working from home today and the 2 day delivery would work out spot on , didn't expect to be home myself but a positive test sorted that out 😷🤣 Hi Can i ask, are they 110/150 for RGV wheels and are they RS10's? Cheers Mouse

As has been said, if you don't need to sell, keep it and build a hybrid!

No Time to Die. So far...not impressed. Alex I hated it! I love the Bond films, pure fantasy, escapism but that last one, just to sate a new 'pc', 'woke' whatever generation. For me yes, they killed Bond! Mouse

Some great pics of 'Bazza' there, made me think, what has happened to the film that was being made about him?
My Dad was a researcher on 'This is your life' and he did the Sheene one, i was quite young and not really into bikes but my Dad got me a copy of Sheene's, then biography and got it signed to me by Sheene, Ago, Mike Hailwood and George Harrison, all guests on the show. I still treasure that to this day!

Fixed the electrical problem, some dodgy wiring to the horn (which some plank re-positioned, yes me!) and a new pattern ignition switch for £33, only had one key with the original anyway and she seems fine. Did thirty odd miles today, goes really well!
Just need some decent weather and fit the new tyres now!

I find this whole price thing really depressing.
These ridiculous prices for parts and complete bikes are going to be the death of LC's and the like, not legislation. The costs are now so high that people will stop riding their bikes as they will have too much money invested in them. Once they have built them, they will just become irrelevant expensive ornaments and i think it is such a shame.
This is a great forum but there seem to be so few bikes being built/modified now compared to a year or two ago and i am guessing this is just done to crazy prices of parts. There are some really talented builders on this forum, but i feel people are just being 'priced out' of something they enjoy and something they are good at, by this 'greed', an ugly human trait.
Part of the attraction with LC's was cheap speed and fun, if it went wrong, cheap to fix too, but now...
