Square tyres

[SILVERONE]

gon fishing

Silverone no it isnt a wind up during the welsh run my rear tyre just went square it was fine before, so the only thing I can think of is there must have a section of soft compound going round the tyre and it just went in a couple of hundred miles It also sloped to the nearside as if I had been riding on a steep negative camber.

"just before Garmin burt got lost"
Did anybody ever find out what happened to him coz I rode about 20 miles back looking in all the hedgerows just in case he'd fallen off or run up the back end of someone again.

"or just riding like a wuss!!"

F.B. you git :k we all went at the same speed and no one else had the same problem so I can only put it down to tyres. :f

 

[D.S.]

I thought I'd better post this before Fat Bert and Chunky Monkey start taking the piss. They both saw my tyre before and after and seemed surprised that it worked.
When I did the rideout on the welsh weekend for some strange reason my rear tyre went Square. We were all riding at a fairly brisk pace admittedly nothing heroic but still not hanging around, I couldnt understand it. Also being rather skint at the moment I couldnt afford to put a new one on when this still has at least 1/2 K left on it. The main problem is that the bike is handling like a dog. Last night I got to thinking how I could rescue the thing so I tried spinning the rear wheel in second with a sheet of coarse sand paper against it. That did nothing so next I tried a very coarse carborundum wheel , still no joy . So I tried a Surform (a sort of file thet works like a potato peeler) and it worked a treat. It took about 10 mins and I now have a tyre that is the right shape and goes round corners like a good un and should be good for another 2K.
:beer:

Please tell me you're joking and 'avin a laugh?
