There is one problem with the screws that hold the calipers, they are worn out and I must find replacements very soon…
Right...the hex bolt is being rounded out by inappropriate use of the socket.OK, Thanks.
I guess that means I suck at wrenching???Could be, but it might be that your wrench manufacturer sucks at quality control.
Thanks Poseidon, bolts are ordered!
Make sure you use anti-seize on those bolts! In all likely hood that's why there rounded out. They were seized up sometime earlier in the game.
It looks as if he simply didn't fully seat the bit.
I'm with lather on this, 3D-XM's for me. I've had 3 sets of the PR4's along with the 2's & 3's. To me each one was a downgrade from the previous model.
I just mounted my 38th set of tires on my C14. Yes I do spoon them on like Marty said. I'm by no means a expert I just never found it to be a big deal to do. Some quality spoons, my homemade bead breaker, box/crate to keep wheel off the floor & the yellow thing is all that's needed.
One thing I'll add to Marty's list is, lay the tires out in the sun for a while. I've done them stone cold in the winter & left them out in the sun for hours. Mounting a warm tire verses a cold tire is night & day difference.
I have loads of room to mount a changer, just never felt the need for one.
My neighbor is a dealer & I can use his air operated machine anytime I want at no cost. His shop is 15 miles away. I can be done quicker than I can make the 30 mile round trip.
I'm going back to PR2's after 2 sets of PR4 GT and non-GT. PR2's last longer with my riding style it seems, and it doesn't rain in SoCal very often.
I didn't realize they were still making the PR2. What prices are you seeing for them?
yeah, they appear to be quite available from a number of places. google my friends.

I find that google stifles conversation and human interaction....that would naturally take place on an electronic device being viewed on a computer browser and stored on a server for someone to google later.

I am now a firm believer in the Michelin GT4 tire.

I got 18,020 miles on my first set. I am 12,123 miles into my second set and they still look great .....
