Those that HAVE tried this, friggin swear by it... and many of those people are generally riders who ride WAYYY more fucking miles a year than any of us here do and have been riding for longer than some of us have been alive.

No doubt. I know an experienced rider that has one on his wing and swears by it. His track bike is a 636 and he's one fast mofo that knows his stuff.

Here's a video of his trial, and a link to his thread. He was leery about it at first, too. Very.

And it was NOT to try and get a wider tire

I’d never EVER do it…but as many have said…those that HAVE friggin LOVE it
