Re: My bike is slow after changing tires....
New tires because of more tread have a slightly greater diameter than worn tires hence giving you, (in effect) a higher gear ratio. Meaning the engine is turning slower RPM's for any given speed. I'm sure all you geniuses will come up with comments about the way I worded this but F-off I'm 3 sheets to the wind.

Re: My bike is slow after changing tires....
Nope, thats not it... perhaps its something else...Cruissy wrote:I bet you went from sports to touring tires. I've normally found that touring tires have stiffer side walls making the ride bumpier and sports tires generally give you a softer ride and greater feedback of what the tire is doing on the road.Stereo wrote:Not sure whats going on... the ride has become really bumpy too...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
