Bike has just done 8500 miles and MOT time as it has reached its third birthday
Back tyre was flat in the middle and down on its uppers so a new rear required as I had changed the pair last year and done around 3-4 k in the last year.
Checked the front tyre usually two rears to a front right? That was what it was last time but this time my front tyre has worn strangely.
Looking at the tyre the middle is fine, the nearside is round but tapering a little in mid tread and the right hand side is worn flat between the middle and the sidewall- I remember the last front tyre went a bit that way.
I am pretty good at keeing my tyre pressures correct and guess if I rode it down on pressure I would have a worn mid side tread but then it would be equal on both sides wouldnt it? not one rounded and one flattened?
Any Ideas?
Bike mechanic said its because Powys roads have a pronounced camber because of the heavy rainfall
Yeah right- anyway I usually ride in P3 (just inside the centre line for the non Police trained riders) so should have a pretty good flat bit there.... probably equivelent to a long weight (wait
) and a rubber hammer or a tin of elbow grease
