Anyway, it was hard.
The CT125 Rear tire GP-5 has 2,0mm left, so I'll change it after a few more runs, but I'm running a GWCampaign, so I'll buy the Tire while I can, and I'm in the On 9, Dirt 1 ratio here, so not completely On road, I decided to go Adventure oriented.
So, after much deliberation with the well-reputed Anakee STREET, I decided to go with D604, which has no Reviews at all, as I am a minority, and write my first Review.
In a review by a certain Large River in South Brazil, the only negative image was that it was hard and vibrated.
After touching the one that arrived at my house for a bit, I was prepared that it would be hard and tiring, as it reminded me of the T63 thing from company M.
Now, when I got it in my hands with the usual Pattern, I already wanted to replace it, and I had planned to replace it next month, but I started to do so (laughs).
As you might expect, there is a direction of rotation for installation, so we carefully checked the direction of rotation before starting work.
This is my first time to replace Tire on CUB, but I will follow the theory here.
The GP-5 has a soft bead and was relatively easy to remove.
Now, let's start the assembly.
As usual, apply a generous amount of Bead wax.
Unlike off-road vehicles, we do not want to scratch the rim, so we use rim protector while working.
It's already hard even to fit the first time!
Fit the One Side and put in the Tube. These are not so fiddly.
Turn it over and put the other side in, but it is hard anyway!
After fitting half of the wheel, I held it down with my foot and lever it in, but the remaining 20cm or so was tough!
The installation was done carefully, boldly, and by brute force.
We managed to complete the work without any holes in the tube and with a clean rim.
I ran the car for a while, and it is true that the slight vibration from the Rear has increased, but it is not at a Level that bothers me that much.
Grip is often seen as such and such, but well, it is a CUB, so it can run and stop normally.
We don't ride in the rain, so as long as the dry grip is good, it's fine!
The groove is somewhat larger than GP-5, and the block is also larger, but the tread surface and SIDE are harder, so I think it is easy to be played on the dirt.
Muddy terrain is likely to Stack if not driven well, but the CUB does not have that kind of driving ability to begin with.
If you are used to working on CUBs with Spoke wheels, and if you are used to working on them, and if you drive in an adventurous manner, recommendation.
I thought that GP-5 would be easier to work with when Puncture was done, and that in the end the standard Tire would be the best. I thought that the standard Tire would be the best in the end.
