Hi all,which front and rear suspension upgrades and tubeless tyres and rims do you recommend for a standard px 200 please? I want to pay decent money but not cheap nasties. Also looking to get a Harry Barlow 200 tune at some stage,any info appreciated,cheers Andy

Can't remember what shocks I've fitted but love the pinasco split tubeless rims with heidenau k47 tyres. Great wet weather tyre and only one puncture in 3 sets fitted. Only issue with the pinasco rims were they don't fit under the side panel of a px. I'm sure the studs on the frame could be switched for longer ones to allow a pinasco rim fit under the side panel but I haven't bothered. No issue fitting them to the hubs. Had to strap it over my luggage. The K47 doesn't have a very high speed rating but on longer rides I rarely stay above 60mph for any length of time anyway.

I've got Carbone shocks on front and back and they've been a great upgrade from standard. That's been the case 2 up with camping gear as well. Got a deal on a pair from somewhere in Glasgow off of Ebay.
