yeah, some are smaller than others. had a bug hit me in my upper lip once, then it crawled up my nose. i tried to huff it out but eventually had to pull over and snort it then hack it up. it hit the ground and was still alive.

I've heard that the front Dunlop tire on the 10-11 Lo was notoriously ****. Any truth to this? I had a bad front end wobble that was mostly corrected with head bearing adjustment. But this bike still feels unstable at times almost as if I have a flat. I also noticed when dealer did the maintenance it came back with the bars slightly bent left, like out of square with the forks. 3,800 miles on the bike and tires are almost to the wear bars too. What should I replace these with?
