Tubeless rim fitting in Sussex

[James]

Decided to go wide tyre tubeless rims from SIP but don't know where I can get them fitted, contacted SIP and asked if they could fit them up for me but no which seems odd? I'm in West Sussex so does anyone know where I can get some tubeless tyres fitted. Thanks

Anywhere tyre shop that fits tyres to all modern scooters should be able to cope.

Depending where you are in West Sussex, (its a big place), I use these lads just over the border in Surrey. http://www.horleytyreandexhaust.com/contact.html

I was recommended them by Mick at Surrey Scooter Services.
The owner of tyre place has a Lammy, fitted a pair of mine in minutes with no damage.
I rang him first, did them while I waited.

OK cool, I know Mick as well, top man, just brought he SIP rims now for tyre choice, so many these days....was simpler when it was S1's

Out of interest what tubless tyres are you running, I'm going wide tyre 130/70/10 rear & 100/80/10 front and wants some grippy tyres, more dry use than rain these days.

Got Conti Twists on a couple of bikes and Heidenau K61 on others.
Are you using a 2.5 width wheel on front instead of a 2.1? I found them better when used with a 130 rear tyre.

[James]

Yes, just got the 3.00 from AF Rayspeed as SIP don't make them anymore, was going to get the 2.50 for the front. Never had a wire tyre scoot before, look awesome but do they handle ok

I've got a couple of wide tyre bikes. Definitely recommend 2.5 front rim.
Also take your time cutting mount, I've seen some right lash ups in my time with wheels not centeral or straight.
I also make an off set top shock mount so damper is still upright. its easier to show pic than explain so will post pic when I can.
