I bought a 60 series front for my F4i because it was on sale for a damn good price.......bad idea. Every time I wreck hard, either the lip of the rim gets chewed up, or it gets a flat spot. This last time, it flat spotted and cracked the wheel right next to the "spoke". I run full pressure, but it does'nt help w/ the low-pro tire. In the end, my tight-*** thought I'ld save a few bucks on the tire, but now I need a new wheel. Guess I learned the hard way.

 

I have one too and dont like it.

Havent had any rim damage from it, but it makes the bike handle weird on 2 wheels.

 

Yeah, I'm still in the squidlly stage where I wreck hard fairly frequently still...LOL....I'm sure you remember those days, Mike.

 

wow local shop was gonna put pilot powers on my bike but only had a 60 for the front......they told me they had a 70 in pilot power 2ct's so i went with those.


glad i went with my instincts

 

Yeah, good call.

 

i tend to stick with what recommended by the manufacturer when it comes to tires/engine etc.


i've fucked bikes up before by messing with stuff that didn't need to be messed with.

 

Yup engineers get paid for a reason.

 

my bike comes with a 60, so i run 60's with no problem.

 

I ran a 60 a while ago and really liked it, but now that you mention it my rim did get really fucked up when I had it

 

Refer to post #3.......same goes for you, bro...LOL

 

refer to my avatar

 

Ha ha.....yeah, I know. I'm just a squid who pancakes his bike from 12 fairly often. I'm sure you're through that phase. How's the knee healing up?

 

Your never through that phase as long as your pushing to learn new things

knees looking alot better, just waiting it out, ready to pull my hair out!

 

How much longer till your back in the saddle?

 

doc says MAYBE 3 weeks.

 

HEAL UP

 

i work with a few engineers and they are dumb as ****.
no bull ****, i had to teach an engineer how to use an allen wrench cuz he was using it like a ratchet. funny as ****.

 

Glad I'll be able to help remedy your wheel issue buddy!

 

Ha ha.....thanks, bro.

 

At least you'll still have most of the summer. Hope it heals fast and strong for you, bro.
