just so long as you don't choose "Think!!"
![]() Oh, and for the record, I don't have chicken strips on the rear on my Hornet but do in the front on reasonably new Conti Road Attacks. On my old tyres, IIRC, I lost the front strips first........ way before the rear, much to the amusement of Fizz ![]() Last edited by Jabba; 12-07-07 at 06:49 PM. |

One thing maybe worth mentioning is that a 160/60 on a 4.5 rim can be slightly pinched... Originally they were recommended for 5.0 not 4.5. All tyre manufacturers know that most of their 160s will go on a 4.5 so they do take it into account but it can make a slight difference, if you look at a Diablo frinstance on a 5" rim it's a little flatter and the shoulders are less steep, so you'd hit the edges earlier. Only one I've actually been able to compare in teh flesh though.
Mine are both equally gigantic. Hang on, are we still talking about chicken strips?

I would put it down to riding style. My front is nearly on the edge, with quite a bit left on the rear, but I do push the front end a lot when cornering

I had the front right over on my SV but still small chicken strips on the back - could never understand it. Didn't seem to matter what tyres I used! I counter steer alot! My clade has chicken strips on the front but none on the back! Weird! lol

I think from what it is, it is down to a matter of a few bits...
Style Bike Possibly Tyres Countersteering Combining all three gives me the effect that i have at the momento possibly. |

It surellu has to have something to do with the tyre width. I have 180 in the back on my Hornet and there are no chicken strips at all. Baked to the ages and I don't think I ride that hard. But the front has chicken strips on both sides. Not too long but clearly visible
