Re: Great bike pictures and videos.
My memory tells me there was an Avon Squaremaster. And racing tyres were triangular in section.

Re: Great bike pictures and videos.
The Dunlop TT100 had that triangular ("trigonometric"?) profile.
.
My 400F I had a TT100 front and Speedmaster rear.

Speedmaster, that's the one. Their Triple duty tyre was very square, mostly because it was for sidecars.

Re: Great bike pictures and videos.
The Avon Skidmaster as it was not so affectionately known. I remember the first bike I put TT100s on. It was a YDS7 and it turned so fast I nearly rode up a footpath,totally caught me out.

Re: Great bike pictures and videos.
I put a pair of TT100s on a CX 500. Awful, 'teetering on ice' feel. Within days they were replaced by Contis.

They transformed my Honda 400-F into a wobbler. Wore them out, fitted Contis

Low tread on your Avon Deathmaster??
You NEED one of these.
Scarily, I remember them in the mid-70s!

Probably little worse than the shitty remolds we used to run.

Re: Great bike pictures and videos.
That's what the tyre providers do. See it any race event. Seen Michelin etc do it at BSB events many times. Helps get some heat into the tyre.Rockburner wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 1:49 pmI think I've seen video of Joey "adapting" slicks on the Island using one of these...The Spin Doctor wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 1:13 pm Low tread on your Avon Deathmaster??

You've reminded me I've seen the Endurance guys hand-cutting slicks to deal with damp conditions.

Re: Great bike pictures and videos.
Used to cut slicks for supermoto, too.
Not the best pic, but the best pic I could find.
