tyre pressures= different bike
So for some random reason I had a flat tyre....
Chucked in some zefal sealant, rode it 3k (as per instructions) checked tyre pressures front and rear, set to what was on chain guard, only had 7psi in rear, rode up the main local A road and what a different beast the bike was it leant in quicker and was snappier on open throttle I can't believe the difference a few psi makes, originally I was running 29F 32R |

Re: tyre pressures= different bike
You had only 7psi in the rear tyre??? I'm surprised the thing moved let alone handling was slightly affected!
I don't really condone using that gunk stuff in tyres. It just hides problems rather than solving them. I wouldn't want to ride long term with a professionally repaired tyre, let alone one which is full of goo. |
