    Chicken strips...

    Why is it...I have about 5-10mm chicken strips on my rear...depending on the day...but none on my front?

    Odd though, I have no chicken strips on the rear and about 2mm on the front.

    Chicken strip width varies between bikes. The SV1000 had strips on the rear I just couldn't get rid of but the S3 just loves falling all the way over with mini strips. And I am not fast. My front tyres have large strips and little wear except in the middle and I have noticed considerable wear on other riders front tyres. But then I don't like hammering into corners on the brakes.
    Here for the ride.

    Depends if you want a good one or a shit one. You might also find that your sprockets are fucked which means it'll cost ya a whole lot more.
