Hi everyone. I am from Southampton (well, someone has to be!) and just joined today.
My main reason is to pick your brains and then next year I will be starting to ride a bike again after about 25 years. ATM I am doing a mountain bike up for my grandson and just need a little advice regarding tyres. I have purchased 2 new semi slick mountain bike tyres and want to know if there is a certain way round they should be fitted. I can't just follow the original tyres as there aren't any, lol. There is a distinctive 'arrow' tread in the centre do I, have the arrow head pointing forward, back or doesn't it matter? Is this a daft question? I don't know. That's it for now. Speak again later and thanks in advance. ATB Rick
