I appreciate everyones thoughts so far!
So heres a follow up question -
How long is a tire good for? This front tire has got about
12,000 miles on it - its about 9 years old - its the only tire I've
had on the bike.
The tread is fine - but - the bike did sit for 7 years in my
Dad's shed.
So - should I replace it while I'm at it? Or can I run with
just replacing the rear?
Thoughts???
