I concur. After getting a slide started on my 110 (rear) I always had a
rough time getting it to snap back up. However, this was in slush, sloppy
mud, snow and wet clay, I couldn't have given it the benefit of the doubt
eh? Blip the throttle and let inertia work for you, but be careful, high
siding into a tree at speed can't be very much fun. Tapping your rear
brake will do similar but I have found that I have better throttle control
than I do rear brake control in MX boots. Again, too much and you are
Superman.
On gravel I have found them to be OK and on the road I have never cut
loose, well at least my 110 hasn't. I'm mounting a D606 and MT21 (front)
as soon as my wheels are laced up again.
Oh yeah thanks for all the tips on lacing wheels. I have decided to keep
them stock and when I get the money then I'll buy a whole new set of Exxcel
rims and Buchanan spokes. Thinking that a modified Corbin is next on the
list.
