On my motorcycle, I won't replace a tire before cords are showing...they just cost too much and have such a short lifespan to leave any meat on the bone. Modern tires have such stiff sidewalls that you can do 50mph on a deflated rear (slow down for the corners, however!)...fronts are a bit more sketchy.

Well, either I blame the tires, or I have to blame rider skill. So, tires!

Inspired by the Studebaker Pedal Car thread I ordered this. When the right piece of stainless or aluminum comes along I'll make a better bracket. Stude thread:

I love a clean RB2. One I have going on a project bike is that shiny, but missing the red in the band from being outdoors way too long.

Just look at the wear on this pedal yet it spins great with a little oil. Not bad for a 70 year old bike.

Looks like the owner banked into a lot of corners. Sparks and everything!

Pedal Strike, such a familiar thing after riding bicycles for the past 50+ years. I have two very memorable ones, one caused by a narrow section of trail between rocks and change from 175mm cranks to 180mm and the other an asphalt bulge next to a concrete gutter in a downhill turn on a fixed gear. The MTB strike caused a trip over the bars. The fixed gear strike was at about 25 MPH and I was able to ride out of it, though I had to bang out the wave in my wheel in order to make it home.
