Скачать или смотреть Oops!! I missed the tyre change appointment

Sometimes, things don’t go as planned and that’s not always a bad thing. I had my eyes set on the Dunlop Trailmax Mission for a balanced 50-50 setup, but fate (and rain) had other ideas.
After missing my scheduled tyre change at Tussmotor Tuusula due to bad weather, I began calling around, trying my luck with several service and repair shops. My then current setup, a rather odd combo of a Michelin Anakee Adventure front and a Mitas E-08 Dakar rear needed a change.
Surprisingly, the folks at Prätkäpaja came through with a set of Continental TKC 70s (a solid 70/30 road/off-road dual sport tyre) and got me booked in the very next day. A spontaneous switch that might just turn out better than planned.

In this video, I walk you through:

And yes, a special shout out for Team Prätkäpaja. They are knowledgeable, professional and perhaps a nice find near to where I live. They are a multibrand motorcycle repair, service and customisation provider as well as have winter storage available onsite. I hope we have many more years of successful engagement.
