Re: Smaller chicken strip at front than rear?
there is nothing wrong with chicken strips, forget them and ride.

Isn't it just down to counter-steer? That's how I've been taught anyway.

Re: Smaller chicken strip at front than rear?
Pretty much the same on mine, I just figured it's down to some physics lark.

Re: Smaller chicken strip at front than rear?
Yeah isn't it simply because the front wheel moves from side to side as you countersteer in the corners?
Mine have always been like that on two different types of tyres. Getting to the last mm of chicken strip on the back though as I've got more confident with cornering and just about started touching toe sliders. Hooray! |

Re: Smaller chicken strip at front than rear?
You could always do what I was advised to do.
Get new tyres. Arrange to meet some mates 50 miles away. Use Google Maps to find the nearest petrol station to meet point - its important not to use this petrol station as the meet point. Deflate your tyres to about 8psi front and back. Ride to petrol station 40 odd miles away, inflate tyres to standard pressures. You will have no chicken strips and the tyres will be all bubbled, like you just came off a track. Your friends will think you are a Riding God. Extra Marks if you can produce a receipt that shows the tyres were brand new just an hour or so ago.

errr, no. The tyres are simply different profiles. What is it with chicken strips and the need to show that we are somehow better riders by the size, or lack of them. Who gives a cr@p. Ride safe and enjoy yourself! |
