Just made my first a to z tire change. New Mich gt4 -old Avon Storm ultra 2
When ballancing with a static ballancer I found the rear tire to have 25 grams. The old Avon was having 45 grams.
Sounds maybe normal to me.
The front tire was just to have 5 grams. The old Avon had 75 grams, and that weight was placed on two different places on the rim.
Seemed a bit odd to me, but what say you experienced guys?
Got a little suspicious when I found that the last person who changed the rear tire had forgotten to put the bolts back in the muffler clamp. Blurry picture below.
Tested the tires last night. I cannot believe the difference. Bike felt so much lighter and fast responding.
On the other side the old ones was totally gone.
I posted a picture of them earlier but here they are again ( with the new for comparison).
Thanks for your advice/opinion
