I hear ya. My replacement is arriving Monday, but not having my bike for three weeks while working on getting a replacement tire wasn't worth it. I should have just eaten the price of new one.

Very cool report :thumbsupsmileyanim: Great pictures.

I sent the bad front tire to Southwst Moto and spoke with the Avon rep. I'll see what happens. Before I pulled the wheel, the front tire felt like it was drunk at low speed. Very weird. I'll post my measurements here. BTW..... what did you buy for a replacement in Utah?

Thanks Jamie It is Harbor Freight tomorrow. I mounted the tire myself. The rim was cleaned well using a Scotchbrite pad. I beleive I did a good job on mounting the tire, but I'll double check from now on. I quickly get a good double pop when I seat the tires. The front wheel gets checked for...

Thanks Steve, I Just mounted a new Avon Storm today and it looks very close to, or more than that 1mm runout. Need to get something to measure it accurately. I think this may be my last set of Avons. Crappy mileage and sent back the front tire due to some kind of weird thumping. Southwest...

Looks like Avon is going to replace one or both of my Storms. I want to check the runout on the next set, before I hit the road. I did a crude measurement on the ones I'm having problems with, and there is a low spot of about 1/16" or more from the high spot. What is acceptable runout for a...

+1 -- Read the manual. I used the method of putting the grommet in the rim and then installing the stem. Perfect seal... no leaking. Easy to check/inflate tires :yahoo:

I'm having problems with my Storms. On the way to WFO I it started feeling like was running over low strips accross the road. Bumpy at low speed going to a vibration at higher speeds. 2K later, back home, I checked the rear tire and it has a spot about 1/16" lower than the rest of the tire. I...

Is this question somehow related to jackrabbit-left-foot encounter? :huh:

If I had the bags on when I crashed, the bike would have been totaled. :P

Late checkin' here also. Left Park City 06:20 and did 800 miles to home. Lots of desert and a bit warm. Took 88 over the Sierra Nevada just to break up so much slab. Great event and fun folks. The only negative on my trip was having to listen to 2K plus miles of thumping from my new Avon...

I've been keeping an eye on Weather.com, which is consistently predicting scattered to isolated thunderstorms. Does that translate into monsoon storms in Utah talk??

Thanks Skooter. I'm just trying to refill the radiator without doing multiple heat/cool runs. Current waiting for a cool down to open the cap. Pretty obvious I don't know what I doin' here.

What's the best way to get to that bleed fitting?

If a 9mm is big enough.... add me to the list. :vinsent:

Yikes. An early start sounds good, but to me that is functionally still Tuesday. :blink: Anyone know the going rate for a good Nevada prostitute? :rolleyes:

Cool site.... Thnx

Anyone have a tracing of the Cal Scientific holes they can share?? :huh: I think I'm ready to perform surgery :butcher:

YES! I put routes on my sd card in a GPX format. A single GPX file can hold mutilple routes and the file must be placed in a special folder (actually two folders deep). \Garmin\GPX (that is to say a GPX folder inside the Garmin folder). If they are new files you will be prompted as to whether...

Try Southwest Moto Tire in Arizona. I bought my Storms from them. Great prices and service. Delivery was free and unbelievably fast. BTW - I really like the performance of the Storms so far.
