I plan on being more vigilant about checking pressure especially on long trips. Should with any cycle tire but, you know how things go. 38 psi seems to be right.
Please don't take what I said as dislike I loved the video I am more than ecstatic that he rode Darkside and then made the video speaks volumes to his character and the clout of his channel. I just disagreed with that specific part.Usual FortNine good job. I caught that "I could hardly feel the difference" too and liked his summary about it being up to the individual to judge his/her trade-offs.
His talk about lack of redundancy is what I was talking about in Post #145 of this thread and elsewhere. Keep the pressure up.
Unless I missed something. That car tire passed a test that most of us will never do. s
I could not agree more Eric!! Hard facts are so much easier to digest than someones opinion.A video doesn't really trump first hand experience. We're all bored, but re-posting things that have already been posted isn't really helping. Especially on topics that deliberately stir the pot with firm opinions on both sides.
I hear that Ron!! I believe a rider aught to be able to choose any tire they want.I thought the problems caused by the virus were pretty awful,, but if the current shelter-in- place induced boredom is responsible for the creation of yet another "darksiders are stupid" thread, then it's worse than I thought.
I have no data that can prove that it's happened just as you have no data to prove that it has not. I can tell you that insurance adjusters will find any way they can to deny/disprove a claim. It would be very simple to prove a car tire mounted on a motorcycle rim was the cause of an accident. An example would be going through a corner and crashing. A good adjuster will deny that claim because of lack of contact patch on the ground or the rim not holding the bead securely.Ah yes the old insurance won't pay bullshit. Please FIND ONE TIME THAT HAS HAPPEN?? Been involved in a Darkside tire thread in at least 5 fourms. Not one time, never have I found a single person that can show me this has ever happened. Do you have any idea how hard it would be to prove that the car tire was the sole cause of an accident it's next to impossible. It has a DOT # so it can be run on a bike I actually asked my agent and that was the response I got.
