Anybody else using the Avon Roadriders? An airhead mechanic recently told me I should be running 35/39 psi in them. I guess I was too low, going by the manual. The bike handles nice though.

I have an Avon 4.00H18 on the rear of my 1980.  Its about to wearout.  Its OK but the sides are cupping rather badly.  I'll run it down to the cord and then I'm going to replace it with my old standby the Michelin Macadam 4.00H18.

Thanks for the photos, Lucky. Chris, your R65 looks solid. You'll enjoy bringing it up to your personal specifications.

And I note, Chris, that your exercise equipment is properly stored away in the garage where you won't be tempted to drag it out and use it.  ::) I hate that stuff.

Hey, Lou... maybe post up the pic on the "Show me your R65" thread?
