|  Dropped the bike
Last night after waiting at an intersection on a red light I proceeded to make a left turn at normal speed only to drop the bike for no apparent reason, it happened so quick that I had no time to react, i was just down. Luckily no real damage to the bike and just a sore grazed knee for me, my leather jacket saved my elbow from being messed up. Anyway, this morning I remembered that I had cleaned the tires with that foam tire cleaner stuff so I decided to check out the tires, sure enough they tread to the sides were really greasy so I cleaned them down, both tires both sides and you should see the state of the rag ! I also had cleaned the rims with a spray cleaner so I'm not 100% sure if that stuff got onto the tires as well but I think it is down to the foam tire cleaner. I won't be using that tire cleaner again even though it did a bang up job on the tires I am pretty sure it almost did a bang up job on me ! I am so thankful I wasn't carrying a passenger with me at the time. |
