Hallo to all WD riders
My KLR needed a new front tyre, so it was time for some shopping.
I had on a Dunlop 90/90 - 21 MC, and have changed to a Kenda 90/90 - 21 70%tar - 30% gravel
The Dunlop had very uneven wear, and i thought the folowing might be interest .
The dunlop had very uneven wear. On the one half, every second knobly was worn down, totally. On the other half, the knoblys were all worn evenly, i would say normal.
When i took out the tube, it was full of little white and grey balls.
My thoughts were as follows;
1. The previous owner used some tyre weld, and kept it in there for very long :3some:. That might have caused the little balls in the tyre.It made a sort of weight on the one side of the tyre.
What baffled me is that i did not feel it on the bike. By the looks of the tyre, the bike handled wonderfully. probably because its a KLR
ot:
Any coments are welcome, maybe the experts can shed some light.
Now i know what you guys are going to say. This post does not mean anything without pics. ye ye i know. Ive tried to downsize them, but still battling. Will post them later, once an expert have shown me how. :lamer:
