No, blue, his choosing. To me, it does not matter like everything else, I listen to someone and that is my choosing. You answered my question, blue. The answer is the same with all 3 of our bikes, (maybe). Chatter came back on his or TT would come back, tell us different. It's not about some ego. It's about solving a problem someone butts enough heads together you have a team thinking in one direction.
If pride and all that shit gets in the way of solving 3 variables, it's not really my problem. I've solved enough bike problems. How come you report your outcome, blue, and others don't? I'm not about to throw something in the mix I am still braking-in pad to disc rematching.
My tire break-in run, was to find some off ramp with minimal traffic so I could coast to a stop. I may have tagged the brakes twice and by the time the stop sign was coming up, I had traffic on my neck. Stopped enough, where I pulled over with dead engine and clutching it till it stopped.
Was I hauling? I had to! This was haul and coast to a stop, check the disc heat. I took my time taking gloves off. Felt the discs and they were cool to the touch. That meant there is a pad's edge, just enough to drag that wheel. I had that wheel spinning free before I started the work.
Last tire change the freewheeling had all matching pads off the disc. Now, I have that variable of the one caliper pad shuffle. Same old assembly on the tire change though; I'm still dragging but with cool discs and no, no noise either, blue.
In other words, I am not broken in yet. New tire, new fork oil, no new brakes or any surface prep but a wipe off of the job with all the tire mount spraying all over the place. No squeak. No chatter. No matter. Huston has new tire and as a matter of fact, I'm waiting for the final horse whipping of the pedal dipping and if we do not have chatter, I am wrong about fork flex but can fell it behind curtain #2. I think I mentioned that earlier, right?
That oil color changes the 3rd variable that may cushion that fork chatter. I changed not a screw turn because of the harsh chatter you can see; me on the brakes and the camera's hopping with old tire, the old fork oil, the freewheeling, old brake pads. So, did I change one variable at a time to narrow down the chatter? No.
I went whole hog on repacking the steering bearings, the fork oil, a new tire, the one brake side shuffle. Do you see how many variables I am up against, I cleared my chatter, it don't matter. I cannot give you a valid answer, blue.
TT said his new front tire did not clear the chatter. Are we clear, TT and I can eliminate the tire? Are we seeing without TT's input, it's not me closing in on a variable. But wasn't, wasn't someone concerned about, who is doing what to whom on the tire/pads/forkit, just fork it. I'll get back to you, blue.
It's only a bike to me. I'll enter my service mileage right now, see how long that fork oil signs off, or the brake pads, or the tire? I'll know soon on the brake pads. Give me a mileage before it came back on you, blue? This way, I have under 100 miles on the whole front end now. I'll add that to the mileage, or did you say it took about that much to bring the chatter back?
