Mounting tires with Coca-Cola?

You guys know that their wheels have an abrasive material sprayed on the inside of the wheel lips to prevent slipping...

 

Duranni has been using this type of advanced materials and techniques for years...

 

That whizzing sound you're hearing is the joke flying over your head.


What you want to avoid is a Pepsi Syndrome.

 

i use 3M spray mount glue for all my grips on my bikes. has the same effect. goes on nice and easy... then i have to cut them off with razorblades when its time for new ones. trying to pull those things off is like king arthur's sword in a rock.

 

They have been trying coke in the AMA paddock for a while (Dunlop).

 

I use WD40 to mount grips. Just a little bit, let em sit 15 minutes and they are locked on.

 

Is tire spin on the rim actually an issue?!

Time for wheel locks!

 

at 200+hp and the grip levels they produce today? You bet.

 

I got the joke lol

 

VHT Traction Compound.

 

Maybe that's the key to their speed? I quit using it, I only used coke because I liked the way it smelled.

 

Id have to question how much Coke paid for that story? They sold the gawd damned tire machines...

 

Theres another chemical thats much better and can be dilluted according to weather/track conditions. Apparently VHT has 1 mixture method... "break your drivetrain/steal your shoes" sticky.

 

What about the bees?

 

You don't even need that much. Remember, this thread is about Moto2. You're talking 125hp.

 

it is also an old roofers trick so the tin roofs aren't as slippery and washes off when it rains.

 

Too true!

 

I always heard to use Coke to clean your car windshield.

 

We used WD40 for mounting go-kart tires. Always worked well.
