IRC tyres i use, or Michelin, there are others if you are doing a lot of road work IRC wear down quicker, but i have done about 25 on and off road events and are still ok plus about 30 off road only

Hi, yes they are popular tyres.

Got an MT43 front and Michelin x11 on the rear of my TFS at present. I do trials and greenlaning. Not in the best condition for trials but will do for the mo as I am learning the ropes riding club trials, doing the easy routes with the modern bikes...

Thanks for the replies.

Got a good price from the local bike shop, so going with the IRC's.
First Trial for the year, looks like it will be wet one.
Thanks for the input.

Tyres went really great at the first Trial of the year.
Next up grade will be the brakes.
Deep water one section, then steep drop the next.
Who does the best brake shoes for my 24TCS.
Also 1/4 brass fuel tap for the Greeves tank.
Thanks

Nice One

Not sure of suppliers down under - I replaced brake shoes on my Griffon front and rear from Terry Sewell - and they are excellent for motocross - so would stop a trials bike on a sixpence ....must be others who can comment on this out of the trials riders.
Cheers Kim

I hope they work well in the wet....I had a dramatic episode on my OSSA 6-Days when I found that the dry braking was great, but the wet braking was absolutely useless.

Any one found any aftermarket ones, Japanese that may fit.
Boys in the local bike shop said they maybe able to match something, but would good to have a starting point.
