tires

I put Shinkos on mine last year and LOVE THEM! Got caught in the rain last summer and had to brake hard, the tires held the road great!

I got your PM I'll try to figure out how to respond...thanks for info I do have a shop to swap tires about 200 yards away although I'm not sure what he'll charge. I work in a machine shop and we have made custom parts for him sometimes cheap sometimes free and he fixed my old taillight for free last year so I"ll give him a shot. if he screws up I'll let you know.
And again thanks to all who posted info the tire swap is going easy. Just finish taking tires off didn't even take an hour would have gone faster but I had 2 beer breaks.

Well tire's are on, took a cruise around town they feel much more grippier
... 1 pic is of old tire and taillight before last years quabbin ride where twistedmax inspired me to destroy my tire there is zero tread left, was a tad slick in rain, as seen in pic with new taillight. and the last pic is new shinko which has 3/8 tread....for now and my feet don't tough as much of the ground as before. I think today I'll take a longer ride head up to chickenbone in Framingham for some chicken and sexyfries.
Thanks for all help

They'll be mounted as soon as my set of new Blk Carrz show up.
