Hard to believe that my first year has been put into the books with my new to me bike and Hannigan kit. Where did those months go? Of course, when you are out riding and enjoying all that life brings your way, the months and the miles just seem to slip by.
I thought that I would transition to 5,000 mile intervals for reporting now that I have 25,000 miles on this great front wheel assembly from Hannigan. I can not get over how well this tire is wearing, and how well the trike handles as a result of this addition.
When I first checked the front wheel, the depth of the tread measured approximately 8.5MM. As you can see, I am now at approximately 6MM of tread left on this tire.
This is amazing to me given that over the course of those 25,000 miles I have ridden in all sorts of conditions, from down pours, to 103 temps, and traveled on many different road surfaces. I have pushed this Trike and front wheel set up at the Dragon and many miles on twisty roads, sweepers, and highway miles.
As reported at the 20,000 mile mark, I have noticed a little and I mean little, cupping, but wonder if that had anything to do with losing some wheel weights. I have since installed Dynabeads and have not noticed that the issue has gotten worse. Here is the tire at 25,000.
You can just make out signs of some of the cupping that I mentioned. Getting ready to roll once again, so stay tuned.
