    Tires

    Mounted a set of the Shinko 230 Tourmaster tires on today so far after a short test ride they seem fine. We're at 118,600K on the bike so we'll see how they compare to the Metzler lazertecs' that came off. Stay tuned.

    Can you please define "fine"?

    Grip?
    Handling?
    Wet traction?
    Anything else?

    Life is too short to ride an L.

      So far just a short test ride to scuff up the tread by doing easy circles and riding around the neighborhood. Compared to the worn out Metzlers so far they provide the feeling of lighter steering and a less wobbly feel when transitioning from vertical to leaning into a turn. Tomorrow will have it out on the road.
