Nice documentary here adb. Those tires look similiar to the old style Metezler M3's I had on my 600 Ninja way back in '86. Do they stick good and where did you get them? It has to be a big improvement over the knobbys.
yeah if you take some non-pumice Gojo hand soap, melt it, and slather the tires with it.... let it soak in. it will be nice and sticky for awhile (RC racing tip). they are a pretty hard compound otherwise, but they do stick to the road.
Thanks. Those tires get great reviews. I am not sure if I have the clearance for such a wide tire on a coaster-brake cycle tho. At that price and level of performance however, I may take a chance and find out.
