    Hello,

    I setup the suspension and sang on my bike but I'm no expert.

    I don't feel anything wrong with the bike (R6 with Q3 tires) while I ride maybe cose the fact that I don't ride that fast, but my tires still look 'weird' after a track day. (see picture)

    Any ideas what could be? I ran all day with 30R/30F


    Regards.

    That looks pretty normal to me, are you referring to the slag/patches of rubber?

    Looks like you're picking up the rubber from everyone else's tires.

    I've been told -- "brake harder" and it won't stick as much. :confused:

    Yep, that's not wear at all. It's rubber from everyone else's tires sticking to yours.

    That is a lot of accumulation, though. Either you rode wide in a corner to pick up all those marbles of your tires has the mumps!

    Your tires are regenerating. Must be asexual.

    I think you gyus are right. I tried to remove one of the lumps with a knife and it seems like it comes off quiet easily and it also looks like the lump does not belong to the tire ruber.

    thanks all.

    It's normal. When I am coaching Novice, I get the same thing. Once you pick up the pace, you will scrub it off:thumb:

    It's completely normal. They'll come off the next time you do a few laps around the track.
