breagh Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Was riding an 08 bike which I just bought. Had the original X1s on it. As I already own and ride an identical bike I was surprised how little grip (front and rear) the new bike was getting. Only reason I could come up with is that the tyres were old and had lost there elasticity for want of a better word. Is my imagination working overtime or was I just riding like a puddin' ?

At least I ride to have an excuse, whats your excuse for not riding......again. Get on with riding, or get on with dying.
