serpentracer Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) the fresh ones always get me but I've never had any trouble from older ones.I rode across one monday in a parking lot and felt the front slide. and that was 10-15mph.got to where I was headed and the side of my tire was covered in tar. it must have been put down in the last few days.putnam park (track) is covered in them. but they are either old and cured or a different material than what the dot uses. because they are not slippery at all.

NinjaNick Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Sounds like putnam needs more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 At least I know I'm not alone and my paranoia is somewhat justified. I just found it really weird that I've never felt the front do anything over them and now with the new tire it's all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Sounds like putnam needs more money.if you look, lots of tracks have them. they must use something different than the DOT.here's a picture of putnam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
