I was excited to get tires but just slipped my mind that I needed tubes as well.

I bought Pirelli MT21, 90/90-21 front and Dunlop D606 120/90-18 rear.

I wanted to try that combo as I’ve seen it’s been a solid choice and seems to fit my particular style of riding.

Now I’m going down the rabbit hole of tubes, and I’m certainly making it a bigger deal than it is, I just want to make sure I’m setting myself up for success.

Any suggestions on brands, heavy duty vs. ultra heavy duty? I’m open to any feedback you can provide, just trying to be more educated on the topic.

For this particular tire change I’ll be having my local bike shop do the swap as I don’t have the tools or confidence yet to tackle the project myself. And with that being said I’d like to make sure I’m providing them with all the parts they’ll need to do the job.

suggestions on tubes and any other parts that need to be included when changing tires? Thanks for your time.

Hello,

I recently purchased a rear spring to better accommodate my weight and gear. I’m relatively confident I can handle getting the shock out and replacing the actual spring.

My concerns come in when the spring is actually replaced. Is this a simple swap, like put the shock collars back in line with where they were previously? Or is this when the whole sag topic comes into play? I guess I’m just looking for any specifics to check off once this is swapped so I’m actually getting the benefits of replacing the spring.

Thanks for your time and feedback.
