Had a 100 mile ride today and noticed the rear tyre looks worn on the left? lots of left hand bends or?  :smile2:

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

Or, you leaned the bike over (as we all do) when wheeling it into a dusty floored garage :facepalm:

Ya can't really tell from the pic Notty, best you get a vernier & actuall measure the tread depth across the width of the tyre, then you'll have something concrete to go on one way or the other.

If you haven't got a Vernier, just use a nail or the likes & see if it's the same on both sides in the same location.

38 is fine for a light wee bloke, I'm a bit heavier (a lot actually) and run 40 - 42psi in rear.

Hate to use the terminology but your chicken strips are equal left to right. Don't think you have a problem.

It looks like you tilted the bike to the left while walking it into the storage.

I ride mine into the shed. Is my tyre flat ?

Excuse the chainsaw was giving Grog a bit of a guide the other day.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎
