Are there any ways to prevent having our kickstand dragged? aside from riding position/technique

Xoulrath · July 17th, 2011, 11:23 AM

ZOMG, blink, you have chicken strip left! You suck!

J/K

I'll post pics of my chicken strips after I go roast them on some 100 degree roads for an hour or two!

cut it off

kaiserz · July 17th, 2011, 12:11 PM

I need it, my bike is not for track only use.

ladyrocket · July 17th, 2011, 12:26 PM

I have BT016 150/60 Rear and 110/70 Front and still have a bit of chicken strips. My dad says because of the "pinch" I cant lean far and will always have them. Does anyone with these tires have this problem??

You can grind it down and keep your kickstand. You will only loose the kickstand safety switch. It's on my to-do list.

or just do as kkim says

but i don't want toooo~!

kaiserz · July 17th, 2011, 12:53 PM

@Mr. kkim yes sir, I'm working on that (:
@drew that'll be awesome if you can do a DYI for it (:

I'm also planning to make my suspension stiffer, by adjusting the preload adjusters and lowering my rearsets a lil bit. I also tend to ride on lower gears/higher rpms, making my bike more upright, I personally thik i drag less parts this way.

uhh? do you mean raising?

the big mike · July 17th, 2011, 02:31 PM

Damn, I feel really bad right now. how the hell do you guys do that? I've been trying but it's just impossible to ride like that in a city or am I wrong?

The first picture was taken when I just got the bike, the other two are now (1 month later)

chalk · July 17th, 2011, 03:38 PM

heres mine, I turn much more comfortably on my left side, a bit of strip to scrub off the right still but meh. I've caught the kickstand three times...unnerving to say the least!

LEFT

RIGHT

oroboros · July 17th, 2011, 03:52 PM

Dudes, better keep all of this chicken strip stuff quiet. The track guys are gonna show up and rip u a new one for being a squid on the street.

"track wear" goes off the edge of the tire...

Thank you for showing us in infatismal detail of 1,999px × 2,998px.
Next time I think a thumbnail would suffice eh? :P

P.s. I wish my tire looked like that.

kaiserz · July 17th, 2011, 06:25 PM

That is one BIG ASS TIRE.

I remember reading statistics that showd that bikes usually low-sided on the exhaust side, which implied that the extra weight caused you to lean too far more often on the exhaust side and, thus, you would generally "turn better" on that side until you crashed it.

clintalmighty · July 18th, 2011, 12:39 PM

Dang you guys got some balls on the stock tires. Mine are at like .75 inch. No pics

From what I understand people are generally better at turning one direction than the other. It may have to do with being left or right handed, road layout, or bike dynamics, I'm not sure. I just know that's what my BRC instructor told us and something I have read in a few places. I believe he told us turning left was easier because it's usually a wider, clean turn (opposite should apply for those folks who drive on the wrong side

).

We were just told to make sure we practice turning in both directions and eventually it would even out.

Xoulrath · July 18th, 2011, 12:57 PM

A few pics of my tires, one of my wife's TU.

We love chicken strips, but almost always have left-overs!

When you say "a bit," how wide are we talking?

no you don't,that is one seriously roached tire-to soft compound on hot day,or super bad suspension settings, or really bad cold tears

iirc it's lorenzo's tire... maybe from stepping his rear out too much under braking+turn in? pretty cooked though

I hope this thread doesn't cause some new riders to go out and try to get rid of their chicken strips and get in over their heads. Be sensible out there folks! Chicken strips or lack thereof are not an indicator of your skill as a rider. Especially not on the street.

the big mike · July 20th, 2011, 03:33 PM

Too late guys

I'm just back from a little trip on the parking lot

I already posted a pic of my huge 3 cm chickenstrips and tonight I decided to go out to work al little on them.
No worries, I was in full gear and never going faster than 20 km/h. These are the results, I'm pretty glad with them

I always ride in full gear and as safe as possible!! I did it step by step and very carefully (after all I wouldn't want to scratch/drop my bike)
