What was the problem with turning the rim in the tire......., I turn my rim in the tire about 2 inches every pass......, it does it on the starting line...........

Because of the rim spinning in the tire? Now what? Sounds like a big problem, are you running OE wheels?

I used to spin my rim (stock) in the u softs all the time. a couple inches a pass. started getting the tires mounted dry and no more spin. you dont really need to balance them anyway so spining them around on a rim isnt a big deal. i turned one tire all the way around in a wknd once.

It happens when you launch hard, and the track is good......., something has to give......, if you have a good chassis, and clutch tune..., it will happen.

Shocking the tire on the launch is what I think too.

I love getting the run around...these Shinko tires are on backorder. I have had mine on order since Feb. 20th paid in full also. Just passing it along, but I guess that this tire did really well as far as sales go.

Have two on order now. Hope can make better than 9.45 @ 150.6 for a street bike. Have a new damper now to qualify for the new rules for pure street/road. IHRA and BUB. Also need a metal chain guard and wire the wet lines.

with those times that tire will be overkill....U-soft more than up for that power.

i've got the number for a guy that sells metal chain guards that are an exact copy of tiger racing ones. I paid 45 shipped for my extended one. I'm on my second one now since the first one saved my leg. If anyone is interested, just let me know.

he does extended or stock length. I'm sitting at 63-64" and the chain guard extends back past my 46t sprocket and about even with the rim of the wheel.

Tiger's chain guard barely passes AMA dragbike rules at 66"wb. The chain guard is suppose to cover the top center of the sprocket. Mine is right there., maybe a little over.

I'm new to 63" and I blow the tire out almost everytime. A few times half way down the track. Of course, this is on Metzeler M3's. OK, OK stop laughing now. I have a Pilot One rear sitting in the man-cave, and just went ahead and ordered a front from Doug. The spring was talked about earlier. I need a much heavier spring and was planning on buying one from racetech. Will it not really work correctly without revalving even with a good suspension guy setting it up?
