It's one step forward and two steps back. Now you're doing the 'Spyder Shuffle.' -- Chopper_Bob

My boss helped me break the tire down and change it.  We also punched out the old rotten bearings and put in a new set of precision 6204 Z bearings.  Cleaned the rear calpier, and flushed the rear brakes.  Running Rolling and Stopping Much better.  Moer pedal response, better acceleration, and the Kenda are always a treat, Rode in 20 miles tonight, a little cold, but the bike runs amazingly well, and I had a blast.

Kenda Challenger 657's , 6 ply bias, H rated, and very cool tread pattern.

The Kendas ride well? I've been through Brickstones and currently on Dunlops on Blackie, liking the very well.

Oh I swear by them, the pattern is great on rain grooves, they are 6 ply, not 4 ply  and the really hold well in a corner.  The Kenda Kruz is a really nice cruiser Tread, very affordable, and very reliable tire.

But I prefer the K657 Challengers cause they have that "Foo Man Choo" pattern, and ride really well.  Got 10,000 out of a pair once, and for a 120 dollar set of tires, thats not bad.

On the UM, we are getting Pilot Road 2 or 3's.  More expensive but Achie is reporting outstanding wear on his set, so I am sold.
