But it's kind of like comparing apples to bowling balls here, you gotta think I'm rolling down the road about 400 pounds heavier than you are. They just don't work as well on the big heavy machines. Even some of the heavy sport touring guys that put down massive freeway miles in the Flatlands love them. But that's not how I roll. Where we we are having the cupping or feathering issue is on the corners of the tread where the water sipes are. I'm assuming due to the weight and toque of our bikes the compound they use their cant withstand that as well as lighter bikes. At first I was thinking it was my set up and maybe I could change some things. But then when I realize Justin was having the same exact problem with a totally different bike and setup. It's gotta be due to the shear weight and the aggressive riding that we both share. Justin said that his are worse than mine. I can feel the unevenness with my hand and at extremely slow speeds while rolling but I can't feel them at regular speeds or fast speeds. So I'll roll these until I either have to take them off or I finish off the tread. More than likely I'll keep them on there till just before the June Gap trip.

CBBaron Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I got 5000 out of a 2CT on the rear of my bike. But 2 of my bikes would weigh considerably less than Tim's setup and have much less hp Need to mount the Metzeler M7 to match the front this weekend as the last hint of tread in the tire center has disappeared this week.

Expand Well, the two featured in the video were playing rock paper scissors with half the fucking people we passed. I'm sure the pirates thought they were just angrily shaking their fists because they accidentally bought shitty Japanese bikes and weren't riding true American steel.
