Foxy Stoat seeks Pig Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I have ordered Michelin PR3s and planning on taking the wheels off and taking them to the garage to replace the tyres. Couple of reasons: cost £12 a tyre If I take wheel only, also its a good opportunity for me to give the wheels, chain adjusters etc a good clean. Will it be ok for me remove the sprocket and carrier and keep it at home for a clean or does it need to be kept with the wheel for balancing?I have seen some decent reviews of the PR3s and as I ride through the winter months thought I would get some decent wet grip tyres.

Tango Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I've been dead pleased with my PR3's on my Speedy........even though the nob where I took it put the front wheel back in round the wrong way......but it's sorted.I think you should be OK to leave the sprocket carrier off when the wheel is balanced.......

Hoggs Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I have PR3s too. Kept me upright when I spun it up on a wet drain cover so I'm a fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
