Hey Friends,
I have reverted back to the few days of excess caution, making turns like an extreme newbie! I just got a new rear tire put on. I elected to stay with Bridgestone tires for now because they are rather cheap, and for my typical riding, they perform very well. I had only one little slide in the 5,000 miles the rear tire lasted, and it was barely an issue. I could have squeezed out maybe another 400-500 miles as I had enough tread yet and a hair over the wear bars, but I figured I should just play it safe seeing how much it has been raining lately.
I was going to say I got the OEM tire, however, I learned that while the OEM tire is the Bridgestone BT-016, what I actually ordered from Revzilla was the BT-016 PRO. Apparently it's the newer version, with better grip and longer life (20% on average??). So I guess I should be able to get 6,000 miles out of this rear tire hopefully! More riding for less $$$!
I do have to break it in though, so the next 90 some miles will be cautious ones. Once I get about 100 on there, it'll be back to having fun!
Oh and, I am finally making headway on the Chicago video. Upon reviewing the raw footage I'm sad to say a good chunk is missing. I'd forgotten that my battery died along the way, ugh! I am about half way finished, so I will try to get it done early this week. Stay tuned.
Enjoy your weekend everyone,
Pandabear
