quite, what about a way over inflation issue?

Have you checked the chain tension and for tight spots?

Warren 25-09-06 08:53 PM

inflation issue, nope,checked the pressures when i got home.
also checked the chain tension.

will check the wheel alighnment tomorrow, but im sure that if the wheel alignment was out, the zig zags would be opposite to each other, rather than paralell.

You say that you checked the tyres when you got home....How warm were they as you should take tyre readings whilst cold.

very cold, as i left the bike to stand for a while.
they were actually 2psi down front and rear come to think of it, i prefer them that way.
