16" Wheels?

[persempre907]

The Desmosedici RR has a 16" rear rim and a 17" front rim.
The tires are Bridgestone.

I think you must ride a bike to it's capabilties. I have a 906 with 16" wheels and a 906 with 17" wheels. They don't seem very different to me, although I must admit, I have only ridden the 17" wheels for 10km.

I think the front tyre is the main problem...,change to a 130/70.16 and prblem solved. Stay with the 130/60.16 and you ask for the problem!

Tyre pressure is critical! 31psi front. 36psi rear.

Ride what you have, they are a great bike and nobody should catch you on a rough road. If they do...they are a better rider and you should congratulate them!

So who makes the 120-70-16 tire that will fit the Paso 750 model?

I too have different rims in my pasos and I must say that there's a great difference in handling and sensibility between 16" and 17", first of all in the middle of a bend:
the 16" is settled in "its" direction (a real trouble if it changes in the middle of the bend!);
while the 17" needs to be "riden" all along the bend, anywherw the direction goes...
Hope I've been able to explain what I mean!!!

Mant producers make the 126/70-16 tyre, but, as far as I know, none of them does it in zr speed ratio! (zr= more than 240km/h)
