Hi everyone,
I fitted a new front tire this morning and thought I'd run a question to you about the old tire, for I've never seen a wear-pattern like this before. The left side of the tire (left=side w/o a brake rotor) is worn away significantly more than the right. I've only had the bike since late Sept. and have put at most 1000 miles on it. The pattern was evident when I first brought the bike home. Are there any obvious causes for such a pattern? (Say hello to Henry the Fly.)
best wishes,
David
