If this is true, then my opinion is, your stem bearings are loose.the wheel does fall to the brake sde, but the brake res is heavy enough to do that...I guesss
Is it safe to ride the wheel cupping if plenty of thread? It's an Avon disanszia
Black Lab: I had same problem with my Distanzias. Rear slid out and front cupped. In my opinion I am not that aggressive a rider. I know of 3 other people in the group of riders that I normally go with that have quit riding Distanzias as well. Additionally, based on the mileage I got out of them they should be called "shortstanzias". Under 4k on the rear and was showing the belts.If this is true, then my opinion is, your stem bearings are loose.
(I once mounted an Avon Distanzia on my rear wheel. I will never own another Avon tire again! I gave mine away with more then half of its life left it in. It could not hold up to the kind of aggressive riding that I do. It would not hold traction and kept slipping out from underneath the bike.)
Don't paint all Avons with the same brush. They make some excellent tires like the Storm ST 2 and the Cobra line.If this is true, then my opinion is, your stem bearings are loose.

Exactly! 2004 wee. The rear is the same tire, doing fine. It freaks me a bit to think if I let go of the bars the thing would get so violent it would highside me. So I just always keep a hand on a grip:yesnod:My bearings are good. My tire is a new tourance. The old tourance cupped moderately. Mine shakes it head when decelerating at around 35 to 25.
Has since it was born. You solve it let me know.
2007Vee with fork brace. I just keep my hands on the bars where they should be and pretend its OK.
I didn't.Don't paint all Avons with the same brush. They make some excellent tires like the Storm ST 2 and the Cobra line.
I'm glad you clarified that, you did sayI didn't.
If you read my post carefully, I distinctly mention Avon Distanzias. I have no experience with any other tire Avon makes, so I can't comment on other models.
Distanzias I Distrust.
I tried the distanzias on my SV, while they were a decent street tire, I thought they sucked in gravel and never made it to winter, went back to runnin Pirelli MTR60 Corsas, on the other hand, the Avon Azaro ST was my favorite "summer" tireI will never own another Avon tire again!
