There are three major mods you have to do in order to get to the start tape , and we ’ re going to go through each one for you .

1 . Rear Tyre This is probably the biggest mod in terms of cost . Flat Track rules permit three different types of rear tyre ; the official Flat Track type tyre , a Trials tyre , and a Speedway Solo tyre . Any of these pass scrutineering and all are readily available through your local dealer . 19-inch rims give you the option of the Flat Track specific tyre , or the Speedway Solo tyre . Those with 18 ’ s will have to use the Trials tyre option as that is the only choice in that size . Pricing can range anywhere between $ 100- $ 150-ish . To help increase participation , Flat Track rules allow you to run a stock 21-inch front wheel and any tyre you choose . The pros install a 19-inch front rim with a Flat Track spec tyre .
