My bike feels funny

[willy_01]

man i feel like a clown! but a very happy one. What a difference 27psi makes! checked the pressure of my front tire = 11psi shocker i know. Ive got 38 in there now and man so much better, the most rewarding ride ive been on was the quick spin round the 'block' (the tank farms for those in NP) after work at dusk lovin it. it corners better breaks smoother and accelerates cleaner.

Sorry for my stupidity but thanks for the answers

So just like the Ranty Dave story I picked this straight away as your problem.

What is it with you guys not checking your tyres in the first place?

As a guide if I leave my bike parked for more than a week as soon as I take it out I'm straight to the gas station and blowing them up. If I'm riding it like for the next few days in a row I'm happy to not bother checking it for those few days.

good point Merv i guess it could has something to do with the fact that i drive a corolla which i have not checked the oil, water or tyer pressure on for over a year
I read the link you posted (RD's story) sounded like the same issues, = bingo


Sensei im keen

Your Corolla will be running about 10psi too little in all its tyres by now as a guess - so get down to the gas station and blow them up.

Glad to hear a bit more air solved the problem. As merv said.... check the pressures EVERY week. Its amazing how much better the ride and the life of your tyres will be.
