George - glad I read your next post!  I was fixing to warn you about using a 60 series front tire in the "real" world on unpredictable crappy roads.   I got the opportunity to find an excellent wheel repair place after hitting a pot hole at night in a neighborhood at less than 25 mph!  I will only run a 70 series tire on the street from now on!

Thanks Chris. I intend on going to a 70 on the next go. Like to have some more margin for the "aw shit" moments. Years ago I bent a BMW rim and to tell you the truth I don't know when it even happened but back then it was my daily transportation. And I ran the heck out of that bike.

The BMW rim was easy to find. I am more protective of your old rim. :).

Have a Happy New Year Chris ! :drinks: :drinks:
