Am interested in your comment about Chen Shins. Can you elaborate?
Mine had Pirellis on orig. ( old and dry rotted) now have the chicken skins
on, didn't have a wobble or anything on either although the Pirellis had
the scalloped or dished wear pattern on the front.

I recently had a set of Michelin Macadams ( I know I should have gotten the Chin Shens) mounted on my 69. Same with these tires. The bike does the woopty doo at 35-40 mph. Fortunately I feel nothing at 60mph and I don't feel there is any loss in handling after 700 miles (just came back from the WNYR). As I was riding along I was wondering if the rim might be out or round. I'll check it out.
