Redbirds.. Not too sure if I know about flat spots ? Does just the center of the tire get flat ? Kinda confused on this. Please explain if you have a moment.
Kmoney I did switch out my rear suspension to an aftermarket Ikon setup. . .. Hmmm ?? Maybe this has something to do with it.
If you ride on a lot of straight highways, or commute through a route without 'twisties' you will typically wear the center section of the tire flat before you wear out the edges. The result is that instead of having a smooth, round, transition like you would on a normal tire you get a square shoulder. Think of sanding a ball of wood with a sanding block while it's turning on a lathe and then holding the sand paper for a really long time right in the center. You will feel the resulting shoulder whenever you 'hop' over it leaning side-to-side.
