Excedra Max rear tire

[EasTexRIII]

I've had 3 punctures with the Roadster. Nail, screw, and razor blade. None have left me stranded so that's good. The razor blade came close though. I was sitting at a red light in town and heard a hissing noise. New what it was and pulled into my buddies motorcycle shop a mile down the road. That was a close one.

I'm thinking the extra torque these bikes make whatever gets ran over just doesn't get ran over.... the tire wants to eat it.

So far, I've not been stranded out on the road. I do carry these:

STOP 'n GO POCKET STYLE TYRE PLUGGER KIT

And these:


The only drawback to the stop n go plugs, in using them twice in the last week I found that since they do not use a rubber glue (or any glue) and they have a thin layer of grease on them to slide into the tire easily, they do not "vulcanize" to the tire like a true tire plug does. so when i got back to the shop & checked, they still have a very slight air leak so I push them through & put a regular tire plug in their place..... But they get you home

Also the 45 Gram CO2 cartridges are $20 for 2 on ebay & it takes both. that will put just enough air in to get you to a station with an air compressor. I use those instead of a mini compressor due to they take up less space and they are way faster to air it up!

Quit riding in the county dump.
No flats for me in over forty four thousand miles on my R3R with either the OEM Metzler and 6 Exedra Max on the rear or on an assortment of four front tires.

Ooooooooh, I hope you didn't just give your tires "the kiss of death"

Thanks for the info - it prompted me to get prepared just in case the "Kiss of Death" arrives!
Hoping not too much space will be taken up, I ordered these through Amazon:

i really like this tire. But I've a question. Those of you that are running one, have you noticed that they have a magnetic belt inside?
I just plugged my 3rd fuggin hole out in the middle of bfe in less than 3000 miles - the one I had to do a while ago is the second one this week!!!!!!
Seems the magnetic strip is capable of picking up almost all screws on the road yes I've really been screwed lately

I'm halfway through my second Max, and nary an issue.
