New Shoes

[Grumpy Goat]

I have the No Mar Classic. With this size and type of tire (typical sport bike size) it’s super easy. When I’m changing cruiser sizes, and older bias ply tires, like on my brothers Connie, I will also use spoons too

Great. I think that the No Mar Classic is similar to the No Mar Cycle Hill changer I have and am yet to use, so I am hoping for a similar experience.

My rear tire tread is down slightly past the wear bars at centre, but there is lots of thread on the sides, so I still have a few more miles of mostly dry weather riding left. However the rear tire has since developed a very slow leak which will be hastening the change to a newer tire.

That said, last evening I had to go get eggs and milk () which I did on the bike (the only riding I am doing) and there was a slight drizzle both ways. While I left the bike on "Dynamic" and was not gentle on the straightways, I was very respectful on the curves. The road was at that early-stages degree of wetness that can be quite greasy. I thought I detected some squirm / slight sliding under heavy throttle but all was well ... and great fun!
