[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 905301, member: 3828"] My thoughts on lower pressures (like 36 psi) are that tires will wear and cup much faster at the elevated temperatures caused by under inflation. Once cupped the tire can cause high speed weaving. Even though it has pretty low miles on it, it may already be too late for this front tire. So if during the next test phase neither the higher tire pressure nor lowering of the front end changes the symptoms, the next step would be to try a different tire and [I]not [/I]run it at a lower pressure. No. Generally, not. These are pretty rock solid, stable bikes at just about any speed they are capable of. [/QUOTE]
