Glad I dont need to buy a new one now( I was like a ninja and swiped dat **** when Mount me was lecturing you )
So whats the word with *T*?

 

Tire wear shouldn't be an issue from front to back. I did notice that when I first replaced my tires in the rear and at high speeds the rear was bouncing around. That was in a straight line. But someone informed me that new tires come with a protecting coating for storage and you would need to do some brisk driving to wear it off. Did this and it came off quickly and everything was fine. But you've said it's been about a month, so I don't know. You should be fine.

 

Hey guys I was up there on sunday and had a great time. I will post some pics when they are up. You guys should really try road "180" Best piece of road on that mountain, it was none stop left, right, and you turn. Its not very long though.

BTW one of my tires keeps going flat on me where is the best place to get it check out and fix?

 

Did you go to the top of Brasstown Bald?

 

Yeah I have been down that way as well, took the fiancee up there and she said she will never go on a mountain run again . Was there a lot of traffic(bikers, you know the kind that peddal)?

 

yeah, that is Georgia's best road - Wolf Pen Gap. We went down it in the September run, I guess you were one of the ones who stayed on 19/129.

We also went down 180 on the other side of 19/129 and that's Richard Russell Scenic Hwy.

 

Yeah I thought that was the road that the guy in the EVO crashed in front of me, it was only my second time on that route.

 

It can suck in the winter though, they spread gravel on it to help with traction.

 

That was highway 60 - 180 is off of it

 

Where did he crash on 60? I live on 60, although in Gainesville. I use it to get up there a lot however. You would have to be REALLY pushing it to lose it on that road I'd think?

 

What part of Gainesville do you live in? I live in clermont but I work and hangout in Gainesville.

 

I don't think so, we turned around after we past over a small bridge. We went up and down twice. How is the road after that bridge?

Here's a few pics.

 

Yeah, but I think when we lost the group we where on that road for a little bit(I could be wrong because Im not as familiar with the roads up there like you),we missed the turn at the ranch and went up some road for about 15 mins before we turned around and back tracked to try and find you guys before we met back up with you guys where Alex crashed.

 

Vic did you get new wheels? You didn't have those the last time I saw you did you?

 

Yes I just got them. My car looks much cleaner w/ them. One of my tire is leaking air, where is the best place to fix them?

 

I would say Butler tire, but they fcuked up my boys rim. Might want to try Dekalb Tire.

 

The LEs look great Vic!

Must have been...I just didn't realize y'all went that far before turning around

They're nothing but a bunch of crooks. They told me I needed a brake job when rotors were in perfect shape and pads had tons of life. Next time I went to the Alpharetta one instead of Buford Hwy and those stupid ****s took the finish off each and every one of my wheels at the rim - exposing a fine white line. And I've been leaking air ever since they installed my tires last year.

 

Thompson Bridge Road on the edge of town (by the lake). Should give me a yell we'll hang out sometime. Friday night at Wild Wings was nuts.

 

I don't really recognize the pics....but Brasstown is a off-shoot of 180 to the left if you're coming from the direction I think you are (19 out of Dahlongega)? It's steep, and plenty twisty. Not all that long..last time I was up there there was snow on the ground still.

Brasstown Bald is to the right on 180 (going north on 19) - I think Ihewas on the short stretch of 180 to the left between 60 and 19/129. And one of those pictures is at the Blood Mountain hiking store on 19/129
