Tire Ware
My continental 4000s have about 1000 miles. Any reason why the flat wear on the rear is noticeably higher on one side? Do I lean to one side all the time? Is there something going on with the frame?

The roads you ride on are crowned so water can run off. Effectively your bike isn't perpendicular to the road, it's 'leaning' to the left.

Makes sense, been biking for years and never noticed that before. 4000's are probably the roundest tire I ever used, soooo. Thanks, pal

De nada.

Which begs the question, do cyclists who live in countries where they drive/ride on the left wear out the right side of their tires first?

If the hub axis is tilted due to frame misalignment you would see the same wear pattern, however.

Flip the tire each few months so it they get worn even.

However, that's extremely rare and would manifest itself as odd handling.

So, maybe it's me. Do I favor the resurfaced hip? My bike shop guys
Says bring in the frame for an alignment check which I will be doing. Thanks for the feedback, bikers! |

Funny, I do seem to have a feeling on some high speed descents that the tires seem to slip or rock...like I roll over an edge or like I get an extra squish on the curve.
