Dude step away from the shop and internet and get out and ride my man. I just had to put a rear tire on a bike I bought last May.
No no no, read the entire thread. I have Elite 3's I just put on my bike. I am busting on another member here about having brand new Elite 3's and a brand new tire changer and putting them in storage

I'd have to hold off a bit, but I'd have some fun burning up the other tires to make them wear faster. Yee Ha!

Just don't get too used to the fun, because the new E3's will have some real good traction. I love that tire.



edit: I should read every page before replying.
Had I known this was a "take a poke at Soos" thread, I would have come up with something more whitty. LOL

Burn that old tire up Soos! Make it "need" changin'! LOL

Smooth move on the tire changer, cuz them E3's have a real stubborn sidewall that is hard as stone (when mounting them with hand tools). Been there, done that.
