Changed out Rear tire today. Pulled it off and took to Cyclegear to mount for me. Bought the Tire from them. Went with Pirelli Sport Demon 140/70/18. Changed out Rear Brake Pads(OEM) as well. So far so good. Oil change this week as well. Bike running nice and smooth and biking the new tire so far. Plan to change front tire in a couple of weeks to Sport Demon as well! Was not as hard to remove as I thought. Did not hurt I had a good friend to help coach me along the way as well. Extra set of hands makes it easier!

New tires and brakes = GOOD
I usually wait until it starts handling weird before I mount new tires and then think man, why did I wait so long? lol

Yes me too! Usually my luck does not run as well working on bikes.....a 30 min job turns into 4 hrs it seems for me!
