Riding in the Wet

[Fat Bert]

When riding in the wet with VERY worn rear tyre - how does one avoid the inevitable slides?

Advice would be appreciated as there is one member on here who doesn't know the answers!

I'm glad you've finally had the "courage" to finally admit you dont know something Bert!! :bow: well done!!
still think you should have just said "I" instead of "one member"

 

[Nige J]

I'd still take the car....

Do loads of bends that way the bald flat bit (on the tyre) doesnt contact the road.....

If its of legal depth then ride as you would normally ride. If it is in the illegal range then you shouldnt be out riding in any weather :xm

Ride in the wet? If you have never been to Scotland then you have never had to ride in the rain $%3un August 2004. 500 miles in a monsoon, would have been better off in a feckin' canoe

Yes it did actually spin up a damn site easier than with tread on and no it wasn't aquaplaning as I was accelerating from lowish speeds......nothing scary just feeding back that there wasn't enough grip !!!:t

All this just to get Fudgey his traditional Cornish pasty - ungrateful bastid....:wank:

Sorry mate but even the 020's do it...... I know from personal experiencve a few weeks ago. Didn't even have to change gear, just open the throttle during an overtake in fourth and................. wizzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Smoothandquick]

this was from a very slow take off from a set of lights

feeding in the throttle very steadily, there must have been something on the road - there is no way the tyre should have let rip at that slow take off.....no way....:t
