Jerald sulky tires

[menzorro]

Has anyone tried the Jerald sulky tires (26x2.125 straight groove - slicks) on the front and back of a bike that is ridden on the street ?
I am curious about how they handled and were there any traction problems especially on cornering.

Its been done. There was a set on the last RRB auction bike. From what I recall, Udall said it rode just fie on the street.

It was auctioned off here on the site with proceeds going to the site http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewto ... =1&t=47293

As for cornering here is that bike in action http://youtu.be/3LShlpqbRn4?t=57s

I got to ride the auction bike & though I was not traveling very fast, it seemed to handle fine to me! Actually rode pretty nice & that was before the wheels were trued! I'm kind of missing that thing now!

The bike will ride just fine, I actually did not notice a difference b/c you would have to lean quite a to notice the difference I think.

While they look really cool, be aware that compared to other tires the center of the tread seems pretty thin. These tires are designed for dirt tracks.
