Interesting to have tire squirm on a track with 28 degree banks. We have 24, 44, and 51 degree banking, and those tighter high speed turns do a number on equipment (mostly seats and spokes). I sometimes wonder if a slightly wider tire would help heavier riders or with the high G-forces we have on the tight track, since they have a higher load capacity at a given pressure. Probably doesn’t make much of a difference if we are always running the highest pressure the tire will take though.

What, I'm really the first person to "like" one of Carleton's posts? ;-)
