I hadn't noticed this as a problem so on the way home yesterday I tried it
on some twisty back roads. I could carry the brakes deep into a corner or
apply them mid-corner without the bike standing up. Is this what people are
talking about?
I'm running Avons which have a very round profile in comparison to the BT57s or
Metzlers and definitely give better stability at the expense of some turn in
speed.
