Schwinn Cruiser Bike Tire with Kevlar (Black, 26 x 2.12-Inch)
by Schwinn Link: https://amzn.com/B007XZ2OJ0 I tried this tire on my front. Seemed to roll nicely with very little rolling resistance. A little hot and humid when I tried them so it wasn't 'the best of' in cruising experience. I'll try again later. |
That looks horribly unsafe for cornering. The slightest lean and you will be on a pointy edge instead of a flat contact patch.

It's a foldable tire that comes in a box 6x6x6" Might be pliable enough to take a corner. I don't have a downhill with a curve at the bottom here. It does sweeping turnarounds really good at a normal safe cruising speed. Raining all day today, I'll have to try it out more tomorrow. 'Radials' should save on 'gas'. haa ha |
Happy Labor Day everyone!
I started this day off thinking hot dogs. It was still damp as a dish rag outside so I decided to have a little fun. What better way than to think up something fun to do. So I decided to make a wiener chimney for my charcoal grill. I already had a Pork&Bean can that I had fired up to make charcoal sticks a long while back. (No, scuppernong vines don't make good charcoal sticks, but it was interesting) So I punched 3 holes in it, removed the bottom lid with a can opener, bent the lid in 3 places for air and dropped it down in the can where the 3 tabs from the punched holes were. 5 charcoal bricks to a layer, I put a total of 12 in and any old unburned bricks laying in my grill. Fired it up and 15 minutes later it was red hot, 5 minutes afterward all the smoke was gone from the old bricks. After I ate I went out on a ride. This tire is silky smooth over bumps and holds a line pretty good. The best part is the rolling resistance, it starts rolling faster on declines I couldn't even perceive or feel before. That's all at 55 psi, 65 psi is maximum. Good for flatland, good for me. |
