Flat tracker tyres

[Rosco86]

Have no experience or knowledge in regards to Flat tracker tyres. Looking to put some new rubber on my Trackmaster. Probably ride it mostly at Nudgee, Maryborough, Coffs and Broadford.

Presently shod with (Front) Dunlop K180F   110/80. X. 19. 59H.   While the (Rear) is unbranded  but marked 27.0  x 7.0. -  19.  And marked CD5. And D3616.

What would be some suitable tyres available in Aus that might work as a medium tyre at those type of tracks. Not looking for a sticky super tyre for a front of the pack type rider who is happy to replace often but a reasonable good wearing tyre for a dabbling old fart.

I have both in stock
the K180 is approx CD5
The D3616 is a Goodyear / Now Dunlop Front
but they work well on the rear of singles and Old School Twins
I also have the Mitas Fronts which will work good on the rear with a few grooves
Bathurst Longtrack is on in November
Barleigh Ranch (MX Central) should be Late November and Early January

what is a trackmaster

[SON]

Trackmaster is an American Flattrack frame originally built by the late Ray Hensley Snr,
From late 60's till late 90's
Some later frames were built by Ray Jnr and friends then they guys from Powroll up in Oregon

If you think about changing to 21/18 set up, sell the 19's to me! Does it have a Barnes style quick change rear hub?

There are also mitas available from Col Moody. Goldentyre might be available in the future.

[SON]

Goldens have been on order for nearly 12 months with no supply
More chance of Chris Carr bringing a shipment to OZ
Vee Rubbers are coming after the next production run and TB21 testing them
Goodyear Dunlops will be here before the end of the year
And there is another brand in the wings

SON sent a pm, did you get it?

Steve have had the 19s redone, fitted a bully hub to the front but have kept original spool wheel for display. Rear is a Barnes quick change, pretty tasty little item. Roller all back together just waiting to fit up tyres, motor builder to finish motor and then move onto tank and seat cables and chains. Want an original style tank so will probably get one from Omars.

What is powering your Trackmaster

Great to hear that Rosco! Can't wait to see it cutting some laps.

[Rosco86]

Have a 580 CCM motor to go in the Trackmaster . Probably going to use a 2 valve head although I do have a 4 valve available. Heard some gossip around reliability but couldn't see why as they are basically the same setup as a wessie.

CCM rotax or bsa?

[Sorelegs11]

Do these tyres actually work on our tracks other than the hard packed oil ones?

[Rosco86]

Steve the CCM is a 75 BSA based motor. Have a   Later model single shock rotax motor CCM in the shed also which needs a cosmetic tidy up. Thing is as tall as  but nice to ride.
