pulled rims and having new skins put on in next day or two.....went with c/s hi max.....should be o k for my style of riding....i dont think they would be my first choice if i was trying to brake at the last minute and drag a knee into turn 3......my battle-axes were starting to dry rot/slit and they were getting hard....80 bucks for 2 new skins?...no brainer....doing a little clean/up
and scoping things out while its apart.....
