I actually fell a second time and it was on a white patch again, those things are like Ice. This second time I fell using my front brake. Since then I have removed my brake. What tires do you recommend for the rain?
I run the same tires you have in the rain. Never had a problem mashing in the rain with them.
Maybe lower the PSI a tad or get wider tires (like 28's or 25's)
I too have slipped on a heavily painted line in the rain (at night). ****er was probably 3mm ridge of solid white line. My front tire just wouldn't ride over it when I changed lanes, and I took a nice meeting with pavement.
Just be careful what your ride over,
especially with the front tire.
