More adjustments...
Brakes have always been "ok" but never great....so decided to try out a Wilwood 2# residual valve to see if that makes a difference. Garage impressions are good, and the brakes don't hang either.
Amazon product ASIN B01GVIM8G8
Also, the master bore is 1-1/8" and the brakes would be better with a 1"....so if any brake changes happen down the road, I'll have a 1" bore master on hand to swap out.
I'm a fan of swapping tires around, keeping the forward edge feathering the same but allowing the "new" sidewall to get some abuse too. I've got 3 months and 45ish days of wheeling on these Milestar MT02 42's, and they were due. The BeadBuster XB-550 was $250 on Amazon and allowed me to break inner beads in 5 minutes ea....did have to rotate around to 4-5 positions, but the effort level was minimal. HIGHLY recommended shop tool.
Amazon product ASIN B01ERQ68BC
Took an aluminum disc to the rings too, cleaned up the inner edge....and look at those new sidewalls! Time to beat them....
