I have been enjoying my c/t for a while now and I have made my own video of ground contact. It is not of great quality but is good enough for me to keep the c/t on for touring. I do not push the limits but did run a good bit harder than normal to see how it worked. Well I did scrape the pegs a few times at 50 mph. I held A tape measure up to the tire for referance and it looks like it went down close to 2 1/2" of contact with the road, but A m/t being round will have only about 1 1/2" of contact at any time, even when straight up. The c/t never once tried to go on the side wall, but you could see the center grouve pull like it as bending to the inside of the turn keeping contact with the road. I did feel the front tire [dunlop E/3] try to slip A little on some sand in the road. I taped about 30 mins. of rideing but I'm not to brite when it comes to A p/c. I will ask A friend of mine to edit some of it and post it for me on this site. I will NOT tell anyone to go to the c/t, I did this for my own peace of mind as to how it reacts to the road, and I'm pleased. If I were A racer it might be differant, but then I would not be rideing A touring bike, and anyone useing A touring bike for raceing ain't to smart anyway. I will try to get it edited and posted as quick as I can. Alan :excited:
