Uneven pavement????

Today I was fortunate enough to find a spot 45 min drive that signed one of the consent forms found on SL, so my spot is legit and it's a chruch. But the pavement is pitched every which way, theres an over all slope then pitched across the slope. My question is what will help make riding this terrian more pleasant, firmer tire 20-30psi? Rounder tire might ride better off of it's center? It's not like on the road with a crown, and is small in size. I don't know so any advice please.

Re: Uneven pavement????

Wish I could help. I hate riding on sloped ****, I think it just takes a lot of getting used to.
BTW, did you ever get your cage deal sorted out?

True. If all your practising is circles, then that will work. I've got a spot like that.

Re: Uneven pavement????

Not yet with the cage, want to get the 07 out there, thats the problem its not that the lot has more contour than a mini golf putting green, it's my 99 cracked frame POS,LOL. They're just small cracks..

Re: Uneven pavement????

A harder tire helps me on sloped pavement, it doesn't try to flatten out and make the bike drift

Today was the first day there but that was mostly what I was trying, I've got the circle obsession now that I can get 1 around now and then.

I just had a crack in my 636 frame welded up. It's been good the last couple rides. Hopfully it holds up.
Be carefull with the 07, the motor mounts are very weak. I'm not gunna lot stunt mine until I can afford to have them reinforced like King Tony did.
