Ok, so i switched from a 170 to a 180 on the rear of my bike this past winter. Overall i don't think i have the skills to take it to the limit and find the differences 'tween the two tires yet.
But i do have a question on the matter. Now the skinnier the tire, the faster you can turn in, but with the wider tire, doesn't that increase you contact patch to provide faster speeds through the turn?
Along those lines, faster speeds through the turn that is... whats the best way to brake? I am used to cars where i play the heel toe game to keep the weight of the car distributed on the proper wheels where the traction is necessary. So far with the bike i have been trying to balance the front and rear brakes to keep the ride height even between the front and rear? Should the front be pushed harder? To cause the nose to drop a little more or is that a bad idea cause you are putting a lot of force on the skinny little front tire?
Ok enough babbling. catch you all later.
