GSAP and tyre wear

[Andrew 789]

Has anybody else noticed that the rear tyre takes a beating if you use the quick shifter all the time?
I guess all that instant torque from accelerating and going down the gears has to go somewhere and the rear tyre is going to be working harder than if you used the clutch.

Never really thought about it but you could have a point - my rear ANK3 only lasted 3500 miles. I use my quick shifter all the time.

My rear PR4 lasted 8k and the front was 10k - best ever on a bike.

Use GSAP around 50% of time.

Not especially, but it is smoother at higher revs.

My Anakee 3s rear did square off quite quickly but I suspect that is due to the fact you do tend to accelerate harder when using the quick shifter.
That said I have still got 6,000 miles out of it.
