Hi Folks,
I switched to a 120 front. Kick me if I'm wrong (and if you can), but

Greg,
As you may have seen by all the other msgs, it matters what profile 120
you put on. If you got a 70 or 90, then you went the wrong way as you
now have a higher profile than the stock 130/60 and your feelings would
probably be correct in that you countered the slightly smaller radius of
