Had a bit of a hairy ride with out last trip, near Mtunzini they had removed part of the tarmac... leaving such a nice grooved surface... Found that the front wheel wanted to follow these grooves, was my tyre pressure too low or too high?
I run my sirac's on 1.3 in front and 2 bar back.
Last night I was reminded of this when I rode a stretch of street that is being redone the same way. Thankfully it was only 200 odd metres and not 20K's like KZN!

MODS, maybe this should be in Riding Tips?
