I thought I would get used to it, but im not yet. I will check the tyre pressure tomorrow to see what it is, but wondered if anyone else has had this effect with the distanzias?

Jason
streeter,

Check your bearings as Tony has suggested. If they are OK I would take the buike back and get the tyre company to replace it. You may just have a dodgy tyre. I had this issue with Bridgestone 090's and they replace the front and it was then OK.

Just a thought matey.

Cheers

P.S. I run distanzias and they are by far the best tyre i have ever run with on the XT
