Wink Big Front End!

Right while its aw just Birfdays and people trying to work oot whit to do on the new set up!!

I thought I had better sneak in a wee query ( Naw Jimmy Somerville!!!)

After last years "BIG REAR" i have decided tae get a big front to match!! I have been offered a 250 (Actually a 280 at present(i will downgrade tyre to match ma rear!!)!! yeppp!! 280 front!!!)

But I need some feedback from somebody whos driven , or had a shot with sumfin that big up front(god this is open to abuse!!) (Can it turn?? can it handle wee Greenock type streets and corners? do ye need Popeyes erms??)

Right start Slaughtering!! But If I could get one wee serious helpful comment before i take the plunge to buy this!!!!

This shouldnae be the marathon the rear wiz!! its only wan big bolt and a couple o brake lines!! (A sunday shift????)

(I know this isnae the technical section!! But ye dont get a technical answer here anyway, and its jist like feeding the animals!!)

Re: Big Front End!

as u know even a 16 inch on the front, is ferkin weird to ride,especially the righthand bends it feels as though the bike wants to fall in on itself
its an aquired riding m8,but hey yer like yon brother o mine nuts, so u batter oan,but can a get yer engine when ye put it doon the road,;)

Re: Big Front End!

jist sumthin fer ye tae think aboot, all bike tyres are marked front or rear use only with the exception o mybe whitewalls. your supposed to notify yer insurance o any changes, if you throw yer bike up the road and an engineer comes oot an theres a rear tyre oan the front yell get baws awe loot me a wid dae it but a don't really give a ferk, ye win sum ye loose sum;) so the question noo is dae ye care : as fur the handlin ye know whit they say a rides a ride
