kawipilot Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 As requested by some, here is my feedback on the Michelin Power One.As you all are aware I am not the fastest guy out there( or even the 10th or 11th), but I am also far from the slowest, so take the following information with that in mind.I used warmers for the first session, and when I came in for a 20+ minute break, the rest of the time the tires stayed more than hot enough w/o. The grip was awesome. I was able to drag a knee in the keyhole the first lap. Feedback was the best I have felt. The bike felt most remarkable under braking. I had the rear off the ground trying to avoid someone elses disaster, and the bike felt "stable." These 190/55 are a bit taller than the Pilot Power in the same size but after a lap or two I hardly noticed. My last two 30 minute sessions were my best of the day (mid 1'40"s)[i use a calendar instead of a lap timer] and the tires never got greasy, wear was even and less than expected. pressures hot 26R 27.5 FIf I had the money I'd buy another set for spares today and that's saying something 'cuz I'm a cheap ass.

natedogg624 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 were those pressures recommended to you or did you just come up with that figure on your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCh8r Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Okay Uncle Punk....you know I had to bring it up....so what is the verdict on the damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 27.5 hot for the front seems really low to me considering I run 30 cold on the PRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawipilot Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) were those pressures recommended to you or did you just come up with that figure on your own?I did miss type the front was 29.5 NOT 27.5The front is .8 PSI below Michelins reccomendation, and the rear is spot on. Although I do tend to fly by the seat of my pants I generally take set up type stuff seriously I just can't type worth a damn. As also reccomended by Michelin your hot PSI should only be 1-4 PSI over cold. Edited May 25, 2009 by kawipilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Sorry guys I didn't look at the bike until today. I'm guessing about $1,300 for the damages. I don't know if I'm going to fix it though. For the first time in thirty years I am on unemployment. I knew it was coming and I just signed up for it today. I guess I should have taken it easier and not risked damaging the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
