Loving the latest post by jzs,answers allot of questions,makes perfect sense that you always keep a bit of the scrubbed tyre in contact at all times,in my head i had somehow imagined that you would be rolling over a fresh bit of tyre each time without a scrubbed bit being in contact.
I do wonder how easy it is in practice to actually know that you have a scrubbed bit in contact until its too late,i suppose it isnt really,just one of those things that if you think about it too much you end up riding all wrong.
My brother in law was such a wuss over this that he asked someone else to scrub the tyres in for him,what a gimp!
Something thats still puzzling me a tad is that based on the thinking of if you overcook it in a corner you should just lean in further and further and that for most people the tyre limit wont be found, if this happens and you are basically taking the tyre further than you have ever before then surely you are going directly on to a piece of un scrubbed tyre and liable to slide off?, again people dont seem to have too many problems, just theoretical stuff to worry about whilst not actually riding and drinking too much coffee!, coffee coffee gimme more coffee!
