Hi all. I think getting the archive up and also looking at the video clip will give everyone a good idea of what we're discussing. I would suggest that to stop the bike it was called gloving the wheel. To clean tires we called it wiping or fingering your tire(s). It's all semantics and that was the Midwest. Your locale may vary on phrase, but easily understood by all. If anyone would like to ask any further Q's after all the posts and viewing the archive, please let us know and those of us with this specific been there, done that will be happy to pass more info along. Often we would clean a riders tire next to us if we saw stuff sticking in strip before punctured thru. When litely done on a guy's rear tire often he never knew. One way to thin skin for safecracking dexterity and sensitivity touch.
