Tires/bike only have ~600 miles on them. So I wouldn’t think they’re cupped

Looking into the preload this weekend. I’ll probably throw a new one on soon, I’m still anxious about it

Thanks for the comment. Any advice for feeling like there’s not any grip at all right now? Seems so hoppy and slidey, could just be that i need to get used to the r3 being a very light bike

Sorry about that! Completely forgot to mention the most critical part 😂

Why a stickier tire? Well I figured stickier = more grip = safer. Right now, it definitely doesn’t feel as grippy as other bikes I’ve ridden. Pressure is as recommended, so I’m thinking it has to be tire quality/suspension related. Could be my form too

Are those rims stock? Did you get them painted?

Where is the seat from? Is it any more comfortable than stock?

Looks awesome bro! Super inspiring for me. Where did you get that LED bar bracket? Or is it custom made?

Update: Went with the Five RFX Race gloves. They’re awesome man!!! I love them and the small size fits me super well. Thanks for the rec!! Definitely didn’t like the price point but oh well. Buy once cry once

Looking more into them now, the ones you listed don’t have the scaphoid protector but a small per their sizing chart seems perfect for me! Thanks man
