[QUOTE="davidd, post: 50054, member: 1177"] Paul, You did not mention which forks, the size of your tires and how many miles you ride a year. I do not have any experience with the brake but I hear it is exceptional. I would think that you can get an Avon ribbed tire, I know that you can get them in the A25 race compound, which is also an exceptional tire, but I do not know if it is street legal. If you have a 21" front I agree with Tim that it is the best steering. If you have Girdraulics my own experience indicates that you should pay special attention when making the brakes more effective. As I mentioned in the Comet Suspension thread, the forks seize quite readily during application of the front brake, which in itself lowers the braking force available. The corollary is also true, increasing the effectiveness of the front brake will cause your Girdraulics to seize more effectively. Generally, I believe that the chirping or locking under braking at low speeds is due as much to the suspension seizing as it is to tire and air pressure concerns. David [/QUOTE]
