Done it now!

[speedjunkie]

Unintended, but went DS today. My Stonet is lost in FedEx land and I had to leave today. Made last minute calls and ended up with a Hercules 655. Only thing that makes me squirm is in a corner that bounces, she likes to wallow around now, other than that, I don't even notice the difference. Im loaded down, so maybe need to stiffen the rear. It's not a RF, NO one in town had one in this size, oh well, 40psi & off we go!

Peanut butter cookies. With the crossed fork imprint That's old school

As you probably know... play with the air pressure to find the "sweet spot"

Take pressure to 44# (cold) and try that..... still better than sitting at home.

So glad you are happy with it!

I'm one of the ones who, as Will puts it "doesn't get it."
I'm trying to find engineering data on lateral sidewall strength - I'm not easy on my tires.

Still looking....
Cheers,
Steve

The key to a successful Dark Side Transition is, first having as much relevant information as one can find and digest. Only then is one confident and "at ease" with their decision. HAVING PEACE OF MIND BEFORE PULLING THE DARK SIDE TRIGGER is highly recommended. Once the trigger is pulled, ones seat of the pants experience and experimentation with air pressure (sweet spot) will usually "seal the deal" There is absolutely "no harm" in trying something out only to find one doesn't like the experience and returns to a cycle tire Folks have different preferences to/for cycle tires! Throwing a CT into the mix, for nothing more than a experimental try, will cause no harm. Maybe a few bucks wasted that could have been spent on "Fine Spirits"

It's well worth the 100ish bucks as an experiment IMO.

Bingo! And I'm not there yet.
Maybe too much time as the Quality Assurance Officer and senior check pilot for big ass helicopters? I dunno....

I'm working it though....
Cheers,

PS - there shall ALWAYS be fine spirits in my bar and flasks, regardless of what tire I'm riding!
