Pooped a little after getting new tires - Lemmy.world

I put on some new tires on my KLR the other day and went through a roundabout that I’ve been through a bunch of times. As I was in the lean, the rear end slipped out and I pooped a little but throttled it out. All was good, except a gash on my boot, probably from my foot flailing around…

New tires as you now know will have silicon mold release agent on them. It’s really slippery stuff. Worse, it will hang out on the edge of the tire for months until you lean just a little further than usual. Soapy water and a green scotch bright pad will take it off fairly easily.
I’ve always been super careful with new tires but now I know why! TIL.
