Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 Got myself some lovely Mitas 09’s for the Himalayan. Have read the tubes the bike comes with are unsurprisingly rubbish. Are some tubes better than others? May as well get something good if it’s worth it. Quote

Bianco2564 Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 I've used unbranded tubes before on the 380 without any issue. Quick look on ebay shows Michelin tubes are available for sensible £ 1 Quote

Good tubes are cheap ... rubbish tubes make great rubber bands .. It' a win win sort of thing ... I'm looking for some more road focused tyres for my Himma ... If i'm riding off road ... It's because i've crashed ... 1 1 Quote

skyrider Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Hi they are dual purpose on/off road tyres and i have always used them on my serow and not as vicious as full on knobblies so feel ok on the road Quote
