Front tyre wear
Hi Guys
Hopefully you can put an end to this one.
I have a 2005 Nighttrain and I am currently on my thrid set of tyres (I do a lot of touring in the UK and europe).
I have noticed that on the front tyre, one side on the tyre wears out first.
Ibeen riding for 33 years and have never had this before, the bar stool experts havediscussed subjectsfrom the camber of the British roads to the fact that the front springs are designed to have one side strongerthan the other (for the side stand).
Can you guys shed some light on it.
Another question, the front wheel spacer have notches on them single ones on side and double notches on the other spacer.
Looking from the front of the bike,which one should be on the left.
Cheers
Ade

Welcome from central New York I have always heard it is the road camber. The left side of the tire for us in the USA.
