Where did you get your new brake shoes from? Just got a ts150 and I think mine are probably original from 1975 so could do with changing. Going to be fitting me22's next week not sure if this has just put me off 😂
EBC shoes from eBay. Same on the rear. I found cheap ones fitted the front, but really hard to fit on the rear. EBC went straight in. Probably will last me now. Tyres are really good, when I got pressures right. Of course fitting them is less fun. But worth it - Good Luck! 👍 PS take precautions with old shoes, they may contain asbestos.
You can do your own tyres on your MZ but not on your Honda so tubes cant be that bad! That feeble inflator is actually SLOWER than a floor pump. Getting wheels off will be a breeze when you finally get hydraulic bike lift. I'm happy owner of MZTS 125 D214 KKO. Its my my main transport too, not a novelty bike! 3000 miles since buying it 8 months ago.
You can't take a bike lift out with you. My point entirely. You can plug n go tubeless tyres in a few seconds. Enjoy your MZ. Had mine since 1984. It was my main transport for 6 years, 12000 miles never failed to start. Pump is great. Portable. Charges phone. Will pump up 4x car tyres on a charge. 👍
Certainly NOT cheap. What kind of roads you mainly riding? Here it's very narrow, congested motorways, with nowhere to go in a blow out situation. No guarantees of course, but I feell safer on tubeless. If I was rural, with little traffic, maybe I'd feel different. 👍👍
Got to say I miss old Wolfgang. But can't keep them all. I think tubeless wheels cost me about £1800. You can sell the original wheels to recoup some of it. But it isn't a cheap option. Good luck whatever you decide. 690 ER, best bike KTM ever made imho. 👍👍
Swatting up for the next race then 😉😂
I knew you'd pick up on that! 👍😂
@@CodgerBiker I knew that you'd know that I'd pick YOU up for that! 🤣

I’m still debating going tubeless on the 690 but cost to switch over is ridiculous 🙄

@@CodgerBiker yeah I do very little to almost zero off road
Mostly highways and some interstate with an average speed of about 55 to 65 MPH
