Oh, and I get some advice yelled at me by some horse-trailer lady. Or maybe she meant one of the n'er do wells standing next to me.
She was definitely talking to you. She was pointing and wagging her finger right at you!

Maybe it was Lars. Yeah, definitely Lars.

Pulled out a little yellow dead bird that happened to find a resting spot behind my oil cooler and was semi-stuck to my horizontal cylinder.  Thats what I get for riding up near Poolesville.  Somehow it survived a ride home through the bump filled back roads and DC streets

The horse hag was giving Jim proper instruction. Not I.

hopeful!  [cheeky]

there's no mark for the heavy part on the tires, so I decided to give it a try. commuting today I felt no vibes from the tires -really smooth actually- up to 50 or so. I'm tempted to get a balancer from harbor freight, just out of curiosity...
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Don't be hopeful! Let the power of science balance for you: http://www.tirebalancingbeads.com/sport-bike-kit/

No. I just remember Mike (Extra330) talking about them when he changed a set of tires for me last fall. As I recall, he liked these better than dynabeads as they stuck to the inside of the tire a significant amount of time (2 weeks per their site) and were reusable.

Nice vid! [thumbsup]

I read from here (http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50717) for the best tire changing technique. (For the same tire size) Ease/difficulty of breaking the bead all comes down to sidewall stiffness and tire temperature, IE: the warmer the better.
