The new bearings are smooth so they won't create much heat now. <br />The way the tire cracked, as if it had hit the edge of a pot hole or something that cut across the tread, cracking the inside, creating the start of the separation. Don't remember hitting anything that hard this trip. <br /><br />Just before the rear tire blew, was feeling a vibration like the front tire was cupping. Now later, don't see any sign of cupping so it was the rear tire.<br />CCjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417345400369951250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208027712659472082.post-327092479140273682017-08-08T17:51:01.869-05:002017-08-08T17:51:01.869-05:00Pure speculation on my part.

But the garage down the street offered the use of stands, moving one tire to another rim and a hand truck to take stuff down to them and back to the motel where the rig is. It's not moving from the motel parking lot under its own power until all three wheels are back on. <br /><br />Everyone here has been very helpful. Motel owner let me use their personal washer and dryer today, at no cost.<br /><br />Am seeing a LOT of adventure bikes go thru town. Everybody must be riding the Trans-Lab Trail this summer. Damit and I will get our turn on the trail asap.CCjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417345400369951250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208027712659472082.post-77249823929101421842017-08-08T17:21:30.915-05:002017-08-08T17:21:30.915-05:00Jan - oops, adventure.

Struck me as strange. Guess not. The bmw dealer in St Johns is very good and probably a good resource. I liked him, the owner had grease on his hands and was back in the shop when i walked in.

At least not in less than a week. Will watch the tires and see how it goes. Probably will reduce our speed a little.<br /><br />Felt the new bearings when the wheel was off, smooth as silk, so no issues there.<br /><br />Thanks for following along Dom.CCjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417345400369951250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208027712659472082.post-38115011224132070182017-08-08T12:15:54.255-05:002017-08-08T12:15:54.255-05:00Ah so that's what happened.
