    well after some encouragement from a current customer, I am now going to be able to vend Avon's at the track. I already sell Bridgestone's so will be there anyway. some of you have already met me and watched me fight your spoke wheels.

    here is where you come in, I need to know if anybody would buy them at the track? or do you all have something worked out that you wouldn't need that?

    what tires you would actually need?

    I am willing to invest in this because on more than one weekend the vintage racers supported me more than the modern guys. in appreciation I want to be better prepared for helping all of you. please let me know what you think and thanks

    Derek, you've done right by us and we appreciate having you at the track. Probably one of the more popular Avons is the 130/650-18 which a lot of the bigger vintage bikes with skinny rims use. They were developed in conjuction with John Cronshaw to fit rims as narrow as 2.15". But then you probably already knew that.

    Dereck,

    When are you picking up Cheng Shin? I thought the recent review of them was pretty good: "They really aren't as terrible as you'd think".

    I need a pair of tires for a Norton. I'll check on the sizes and get back to you.

    I am putting in some calls on that to see if I can fill in the gaps. if it doesn't interfere with anybody else's deal I will bring some.
