5.10-17 IRC vulcanduro tire

Chaparrel has it for $65. Shop wisely vintage riders. I received it and it's soft, fresh, new rubber.

Sorry it's the irc VE33 vulcanduro tire.

There isn't much out there that's 5.10-17 or 140-18 that's affordable those days of buying the trellborg rear tires discounted at $40/$50 are gone.

I put on new tires, new tubes and forget about it. One less thing to go wrong on the trail.
I purchased new rim locks too to replace the missing ones.

They were not missing, the bike did not come with rim locks.

Both rim lock holes are in the rims?

Some wr bikes came with 9 pins on each side of the rim as well as two rim locks rear and one front. The auto bikes didn't have the pins would have to check on the te four strokes. I find it hard to believe they didn't come with rim locks, I guess one could study the parts sheet.

im sure none of my huskys had rim locks lots of bead pins though thinking the ol mans Penton had them to

All my late 70's & 80's six speed husqvarna bikes had rim locks front and rear. Some rims had the pins too. I learned how to change tires on these rims. Some rims had the pins removed.

People revolved rim locks think they can punchure the tube or pinch it. I always worried about tearing the valve stem off while deep in the woods with no rim lock. The trails in Mass on the pipeline go thru valleys, up and over the hills. You can ride farther than you can see. It's a long way back on a flat.

A tire mounted on a rim with pins is NOT going to move on the rim, while a rim with only rim locks can and will let the tire move on the rim, it is a FAR more secure system than rim locks. In addition, pinned rims can hold a tire at much lower pressures without it moving and you can change them much easier. My '82 430WR does not have rim locks and has no holes drilled for them, only pins.

If you needs pins, you can get them through Mc Master Carr.

They are 3mm x 8mm

My 17" husqvarna rear rims have two rim locks. The valve stem if I remember correctly is inbetween both rim locks. I had four 390cr's in the past and rode them hard and never spun a tire on the rim.

All my 78 rims have pins and rim locks ! Apart from the Auto.
I used to run a road legal Michelin Enduro Comp 2 tyre years ago, I found it worked best with NO air ! Damn thing had stiff sidewalls. The tyre never shifted an inch.
I love pins :-)

Too many of these bikes were changed by the previous owners. I see so many missing rim locks. It's part of them being original right down to the metric screws. I want the bike dependable to ride and original. I go through them once that's it. I don't like doing things twice.
