I keep trying to look at the tape, but I keep noticing the widest chicken strip I have ever seen. Do you slow all the way down so you don't have to lean in corners? :o :)

I have to admit I liked them on the dealer bike. The Bridgestone's are a great commuter tire, but once in a while I get a wild hair itch to head off into the woods. The solid rubber strip down the center sure gets squirrely with any gravel under it. The demo bike was solid as a rock, and had...

Thank you for the links show. However, the CB500X I saw had the tires I pointed out. Could be like the NC700X, where some people received the Bridgestone, and some the Michelins.

What do you guys think of these tires? They are coming stock on some of the CB500X bikes. I thought they felt great for light dirt when I test rode the bike. I feel like they could be the perfect commuter compromise tire. Any input on this set for the bigger NC700X...

I used Velcro stick tape, but I just realized I bought the 1 inch set. Like I always tell my kids, attention to detail.

With the set I have, with the clamps all the way tight, there is still space between the clamps and handle bars.
