Oh really. Well It's still got bumps from where the nubs there. But it's still as smooth to ride as anyones. I love it. Luke Collalto wrote: It feels smoother to ride, to do tire gabs and it's lighter. The main advantage is probably the look. I love my bald luna, I've had it since around the start of the year. Still no thread showing and I never really rotate it. http://tinyurl.com/3cfq9l Also, I found it helps heaps with doing backflips as there is less grip on the ground making it harder to spin. I was amazed at how much weight shaving it took off. I only started to collect the knobs in a bit of newspaper half way through shaving it and the weight of the knobs shocked me. I didn't think it would make any difference to the tyres overall weight.

How to Shave your Trials Tire?
Well if it's got the knobs those are the only bits touching the ground. But if it's bald, there's lots of rubber touching the ground thus resulting in less grinding down of the rubber?

I just realised that yes it would most likely be made out of a softer compound because a softer compound would give more grip surely.

but do you find a shaved tire better than a non-shaved tire for street? -- Uni-Jam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Uni-Jam's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16324 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63745 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

How to Shave your Trials Tire?
Decided to shave a bit of rubber off my 2.7 monty for weight and smoothness. Didn't want to go completely bald (yet). Definitely the fastest way to shave a tire! Rolls much nicer on pavement, still has plenty of grip. More like a BMX tire. I just ran around the outer tread with the bench grinder, shaving a pile of rubber off each knob. No photos of the before, but heres some photos of the aftermath. Took maybe 10 mins to get it like this, maybe 10 more to make it completely smooth using the grinder. Balding a tire using other methods usually takes upwards of an hour!!!
