Overdrive gearbox

Hi I realise no one is likely to guarantee that a gearbox will work. But I am after a good overdrive gearbox. If you have one that ran well in a car you subsequently broke for spares.
It would be much appreciated if we could do a deal. Jeffrey 07974820019

Re: 185 80 13

All interesting stuff. I think you also have to think about the steering. I think some of these tyres will be a devil to steer with if they are not the actual size.
What do you think about that?

I will probably get some Maxxis ones and see what happens.

185 80 13

I understand for the Pi, the ideal/correct tyre should be 185 80 13.

I have been pointed in the direction of Maxxis (not an Austin Maxi). They have one side as a white wall. Are there any other contenders that are realistically priced?
