I had the same experience, except over the course of a few days. In response to the posters above, yeah, I check my tires every couple of rides. The tread was a bit thin, sure, but there was no metal showing and everything was solid. Two days later, the tire looks like someone took a cheese...

Sorry if this has been done -- I haven't been on the forums in quite a while. Anyway, thought it might be a good idea to post our experiences with our tires since there seems to be a lot of interest in which kind to buy. This way people can just compare the data from other riders instead of...

Yeah I saw it, bama. I didn't even know what they were until I did. I prefer sweet and sour sauce. /thread hijack

13% here in the states. Seems to be another confirmation of what we've been saying all along: if you're willing to give up some top end performance, the NC is a great bike.

Nice fishing, Bob. Glad to hear it was legal size, after all. :)

Funny, that sheepshead doesn't look like it's 12". Man I would step over someone's dead body for a good, solid cold front. We get enough summer weather down here from March through November.
