I have Alans car rim on a Guzzi centre wheel on my series 1. Need to watch what size (width) will fit in the swing arm. I have a 135 Firestone. Had problems in Canada finding a tire to fit. Neil in Eastern Canada has I think a 145. Makes a lot of difference I always felt the rear bike wheel was flex...

Some wear on one valve stem, but not enough to need replacement. I was expecting some valve seat recession from previous own...
