Check you tire pressure often........


Recommended Posts

I rode from Chicago all the way to Dallas. From Dallas back up to Tulsa. From Tulsa to Eureka Springs and then back to Chicago on a rear tire with a whopping 16lbs of pressure in it!

In Eureka Springs I couldn't keep a line in a corner, was all over the road, and generally looked like a rookie. I blamed it on the mass amounts of alcohol and I'm sure that had a bit to do with it but...............I am an idiot!

Been buying those cheap valve stems? Most are Chinese made and leak after a few months.

Eddy has convinced me to try some aluminum ones from Kurvey Girl. All I need now is to take time to break down the tires.

Not sure how this has anything to do with selling or buying.

I caught a nail in my tire a few years back. Was doing about 140km/h just before and slowed to 80 and the bike seemed heavy in the turns but I assumed it was the rougher road surface and speed difference. Stopped about 20km's after I assume the when I picked up the nail. After being stopped a few mins it was obviously low. Was waiting for a friend 15mins later it was sitting on the rim.
