sounds like a good tyre combination for mostly trail, but I found the mt21 a bit too lumpy on the road (mostly road) when fitted to my TTR600, but a great tyre.
I too was wondering if I could get away without a rim lock ?.. as they are buggers to balance, especially at the rear.

I think standard tyre psi is 22 ?
I used to run that pressure on the ttr and got no punctures, but I ride trails like a woos :laugh: I will be trying 22psi when I can bring myself to dirty the new virgin. :S B)

never use more then 20psi, usually around 18psi works the best without have to have rim lock
and risk of rim bending. Currently Michelin SG12 XC.

Looks promising, who is going to complain over a bit more poke, some weather protection, a lighter exhaust & larger tank?


Only ones I can think of are crf's only, there goes 90% of farkle sales?
