I have a a large quietish roundabout near me, i practised my funky chicken on the way so i'm not "holding on too tight". Name the film!!
Funky chicken is great, noggy's tip about leaning forward a bit more and pointing with the chin really helped, i like that one.
The result was no blob scraping but the 2mm of scuffed chicken strip (i hate that term as well) has gone! :woot I felt much happy leant over as well.
Just need a left hand roundabout now, anyone know of one.
Think i will change tyre manufacturer though thinking may be Michelin PR3's anyone got anything bad to say about them?
Good to hear the progress, pleased for you fella, and also glad that Noggy has his uses :lol
As for the PR3's - I've found them to have good feel and cracking wet or dry grip inspiring confidence all round. I have managed to lock the front twice (around London) but this is probably down to snatching the lever and having no time for the tyre to compress.
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
