Where's the best place to order the 3 o-rings for the rear tire assembly?  I'm getting ready to put a new rear tire on the bike and want to change those out.  Anybody have the P/Ns?  TIA

Dave,
I just received my order from Carolina Bike and Trike. It's a set of 5 (each) of the three o-rings. You're welcome to one of the set's if you'd like. It'll take me years to go through 5 sets of them.
Let me know. You can send your address here....

Bugslayer,

Thank you for your very kind offer.  I appreciate it, but I guess I need to order the set from CB&T.  I've got at the least 8K miles of planned trips next year, not counting just general riding, so I'll need the extras.  Thanks again though!   :cooldude:

Thats cool.

What kind of tire are you getting?  I took my rear wheel in today and had my well worn Venom R replaced with a Avon Cobra . Good lookin tire.   I was kinda surprised about the price. My local dealership had a WAY better price than any Internet deal I could find. I'll put it on tomorrow and see how it rides.

I'm going to try the darkside this time with a GY ATT 205/60R16.  I've had Cobras on the bike but knowing I'm going to probably need another new rear tire at the end of this next riding season, it just kills me to pay $225+ to put one on now when I can get the GY for about $100 cheaper and get 2 to 3 times the mileage on it.  If I don't like it, I won't be out alot of $.  Will probably change it out in the next couple of weeks once I get all my supplies in.

I'm guessing you are refurring to a Good Year tire. I had Freedom Cycles put a set of Avon's on mine about 3 months ago at a cost just under $600.00 for the set.  What's the cost of a GY ?

I can get one from Sam's (special order) for $125 or buy one online from Tire Rack for $135 delivered to the door.

I just had a rear Avon Cobra put on at the local dealership. $166 + $13 tax. I took the wheel in, and they charged me 23 bucks (+ tax) to mount it. (that included a new valve stem.) I was pretty pleased with their price.   ;D
