Would tend to agree with Jack - BT45s. I fitted them to the Old Gurl following advice on here and have been very pleased with them.

My front wheel had a tubeless tyre fitted when I got it, but the man at Protyre, who seemed to know his stuff, said that unless the rim is marked as tubeless, then a tube should be fitted. He explained that whilst a tubeless tyre can be fitted it's not really safe. When I removed the original tyre to restore the wheel, it was full of that squirt in rubbery string stuff, suggesting that there had been issues with leaks. I believe the rim has a different profile for tubeless tyres.

Looks like 45's then..

Should I stick with 120/90 rear (JMC arm) and 100 90 front or change profile, width or both....
