DANGER!! Possible Tank Slapper!

[hombre]

I post this video in case someone foolishly mounts a much smaller diameter tire on their BST CF front wheel thinking it will give them better handling. A tire that is 1" smaller in diameter will result in increased nutation, and very possibly an uncontrollable high speed wobble.

BST recommended keeping the front tire as close as possible to the stock diameter for this very reason. If you choose to ignore their advice, you do so at your own risk!

That's gonna leave a mark.

Ouch.
Looks like that was Isle of Man.

Just a bump so nobody gets hurt.
