There's a site that has a bunch of different tire wear patterns and suggestions as to what's causing them - can't seem to remember where... Anyone got a link?

Thanks Dave - my rear is showing signs of what they are calling "shock rebound tear" (cupping at the front the tread with a raised edge on the rear of the tread) - but they do not make a suggestion as to where to go with rebound if that is the case?

Any suggestions? More or less rebound?

Not that I am an expert, but from watching the Dave Moss DVDs he never says you can tell if you need more or less rebound. He only says you can tell there is a rebound problem based on reading the tire, you have to guess which direction to go.

To determine which direction to go, you either have to "bounce the bike" or just adjust one way and see if it cleans up or gets worse.

It looks like from the pictures there your rear shocks rebound was off, it was improving as the day when on at Beaver but I forget if you said yours was too soft or too hard before adjusting.

This is actually on my R and not the 675 and after hard (stupid) riding. Been spinning up the rear on that thing left and right too.
