Title: Butt Puckering ride Post by DesertRat on 12/20/15 at 09:27:07 took a ride out to CycleGear for replacement riding glasses. Took the long way on a new stretch of parkway that fairly traffic free. Was not expecting this new stretch to be "paved" with grooves. Hit the stretch at about 70 mph coming into a gradual curve and BAM the back tire went stooopid squirely. WTF? slowed down to about 50 mph and still had trouble getting the bike to take the curve but the wobble wasn't as pronounced. worse than this example, which is pretty bad: http://www.cleanmpg.com/photos/data/523/Rain_Grooves.JPG |
