Hi
I'm ordering a new rim which will be 21 x 3.5. Looking to put a 120/70 hoop on it but having trouble finding an inner tube in the UK.

Would a 21 x 3 be ok? or should I go down the route of sealing the rim so as to do away with tubes altogether?

Any thoughts would be awesome!
Pete

Yes, they're only balloons.

With that cool of a look, he MAY want to "Show Boat", and NOT haul ass.

Cornering is well over rated and I gave up hauling ass when I sold the sportsbikes

I hardly ever break the 60/70mph (not sure what that is in your money) mark.. not cause I don't like speed but it just feels good at that speed...
