That doesn't look good
Thats quite a rip.
At first i thought it was cord or string of some sort. Then i thought it was like a last warning layer of plastic or something. Well it's cord. The final step towards a hole in the tire. eeks!
Sweet lordy.. Maintainence is crazy!
1400$! I had old tires but they weren't sound. and a chain that i won on ebay never arrived, so i'm getting a refund on that. If i'd gotten tires and a chain a bit at a time the cost of the whole bit wouldn't be so dramatic.. Cash money! The new tires are slick! Pirelli Diablo Corsa Front (128$), Diablo Rear ($134), Front and Rear Sprockets (100$(Sprockets! Welcom to Sprockets! I am dita!)) and a DID x-ring gold chain (150$). The usual other replacement parts Plus Labor Equals chingching! i asked if this was the norm.. it is, every 16k miles. lordy!
The new tires though are wicked. It 'drops' easier than my older tires on the turns, and i could feel the grip more engaging than usual.
hopefully next time would be in a 2 years. woo!
Fluffielady called in sick today. Shes been sick for a week.. =( poorpoor fluffielady.
