No, as on way to work and all sudden, felt like wavy road as I road the Mission Blvd, on to I-80. One broke and shortly after I guess a few others let go. |

I had a cb160 Honda that was notorious about popping rear spikes. Dad finally pulled them all and restrung the hub. It held well for a couple more years. I wish I had a tenth of his mechanical talent... |
