DH racing lured me in. I've never done any sort of fantasy sport before and I'll never admit it to anyone in real life...but I think this is going to be fun as hell!

Leaving South Korea today just wanted to say thanks to those that gave advice in this thread was really helpful. South Korea is amazing will definitely be back hopefully with a bike next time. Chatted to a few Americans at the race so not sure if your on here but this is me if you recognise me.

In a true radial these filaments run arranged 'radially' from bead to bead, and this means that the filaments don't touch each other and are only in contact through much softer rubber. A bias ply tire has these filaments at angles and as such they contact each other a lot, sort of like how if you touch one part of a spider web the entire spider web is interconnected and all of it moves. As a result, a radial tire when it comes in contact with...
