Re: Matched tires

My local cycle shop found me a set of shinkos that I have been happy with.. had to go for a slightly wider front, but I like 'em. One thing I have become aware of is warming them up for a while before really carving those corners.

That makes me wonder, do you guy consciously use less lean angle at the beginning of a ride? If so, how long before you feel comfortable carving the turns? I have noticed some slippage when going around roundabouts about 2 miles from my house before the tires get warm.

And another thought: When I ride, I love the feel of leaning over so far that the pegs scrape. I'll do this even when I don't have to. Any thoughts about lean angle and the GZ?
