Slick tyre skimming?
I was talking to a Kiwi friend of mine who was telling me about his buddy who races an old classic of some description..
When he fitted his new slicks he would run them for 20 miles or so until the beads had settled in the rim, remove them, centre them on a lathe and skim them somehow (hot knife?) so that they were perfectly round. I was thinking He may have confused it with tyre buffing, but he seemed quite adamant. I'd never heard of this before.. Is this a normal required procedure for using slicks?
