Different tire? No shake? Very interesting. I must file that away. Thanks!

I think I will get another 4 or 5k so it in line with most others mentioned.
What I did notice right away is the head shake of the Dunlop is non existent. I
am attributing the shake to the Dunlop because as soon as I put the BA on I
could ride with no hands straight and confident without the slightest wiggle. Im
still looking for a toothier tire.
