Dont forget to fit rim locks ,i recently used mine offroading in mid wales and due to the weight of the bike the tyres will be prone to moving on the rim .When i got back and changed my tyres back to the Tourances from the MT 21's i noticed the valve on the fron wheel had moved at an angle as i had'nt tightened the rim lock up tight enough ,i am sure it would have ripped out if there had been no rim lock in the tyre

Never do you valve locking nut up tight always back it of about half way back up the valve so if your tyre does spin slightly it wont rip the valve out
