Im very sure degs will tell ya but new tires are super slippery for about 100 miles or so...

Whhhaaaatttt????

Am I missing something? I never heard of that

[nt650hawk]

I guess that is one way to scrub in your tires. I like 3m or scotch brite pads.



Must be a stunter trick or for immediate posing satisfaction.

Thanks for the tip and I def will take it easy. Sunday can't get here soon enough

[jwm2k3]

The sandpaper thing is silly...just ride around with like 5psi in the tires...instant scrubbing.

Just do a burnout at your local high school around 230, you'll thank me later.

haha I can see this getting me into trouble in more than one way.
Degsy got my new tires on this morning and just want to say BIG thanks and pleasure of meeting you. If I didn't have had to go to work I could hang out there all day, awesome guy to be around and knows more about bikes than wikipedia itself.

Did you remember to fully layer them up with duct tape afterwards to make them last?

Please dont tell us you use the same method with 'the ladies'....

[xsiliconkid]

LOL
will not help much.....It's the mould release compoud they slop in when making the tire...not the smoothness of the tire.
you need some heat and scrubbing the tire on the road to leach it out of the tire compound.
