That depends on the road type (gravel, asphalt, concrete, chip and seal, or other), how you use the bike (commuting, racing, carving twisties), what kind of tires they are (single, dual, triple compound)(racing tire, touring tire, or general purpose tire), how closely you monitor tire pressures, and how agressive you ride.How many kilometres could you do with a new set of tyres, before changing them?. I had my bike serviced and the technician passed my tyres thread, despite having done 31,000 kilometres. They are Bridgestone. I use my bike for commuting only.
Do I need to change the blinker fluid?
I mostly use olive, but sometimes peanut. :zombie:
change them now, as in, a few thousand km ago...How many kilometres could you do with a new set of tyres, before changing them?. I had my bike serviced and the technician passed my tyres thread, despite having done 31,000 kilometres. They are Bridgestone. I use my bike for commuting only.
So, it is not only the mileage and wear, it is also the age of the tire needs to be considered.
I always read and heard (including the Dunlop guy at the IMCS this spring) say that throw the tires after 5 years from the production date. The heat cycle aging though, I have no idea on..Everyone is different but for me I guess it is nice with my commuting : I will never get more than 1.5 yrs from a tire anymore - if even that.
I don't recommend Oil... I just heat up and pour in some Nutella! That way it gets some peanut oil and I get a nice faint aroma of chocolate as I ride!
I have no idea... I've pushed my tires to the 16k mile mark (never again) and they were flat spotted and down to the tread marks.... I've read posts where people say you'll go through tread before you hit the heat cycle life and others where people will only run them on track days for 2-3 sessions before they feel shot but have plenty of tread, but how you can get almost 20k miles of life and still have tread to pass inspection is beyond me...
I need a new front tire every year and a rear ever 2/3rds of a year so I am pretty sure that I don't hit the 5 year mark on any of my vehicles.
Yes, every 5000 miles or 2000 blinks. Whichever comes first
I think peanut is healthier. Would that be a problem if I had a peanut allergy?
MMMM Nutella, that would be awesome. But I guess that I could just ride around Hershey and get the same effect.I don't recommend Oil... I just heat up and pour in some Nutella! That way it gets some peanut oil and I get a nice faint aroma of chocolate as I ride!
yeah, but then you get the urge to stop in at their store (I think I saw a store on TV when Larry The Cable Guy did his Only in America Episode there!) and just spend too much $ with all those goodies and smells!
I ride on asphalt/concrete only. commuting only. The tyres are sport touring, and 3 years old, do not know what sort of compound though. I am not aggressive at all.
