Title: New Tire Came In
Post by: oracleofmist on February 23, 2009, 02:05:41 PM
My Conti came in today from American Moto Tires. It didn't come with a tube (I was assuming they did ), will i have to get a new tube or can I use the one from my BT45?

the GS uses tubeless tires. Just make sure the bead pops into place, try 40+psi then back it down to the proper amount.

Like everything fun in life - lots and lots of lube.

haha. Ok, I'm having a friend replace it, I just happen to notice no tube. I got concerned for a bit there. Thanks guys. I'll put pics up of the new tire as mine is rather bald
