Not a joke-need input
A good friend of mine who has built and been riding bikes for almost 15 years is trying to save a few bucks. He bought a used bike with good tread tires, but they are rock hard and offer poor grip due to old age(several years old). So, he is soaking them in brake fluid to "reinvigorate" the tires as he puts it. He says he'll wipe/clean them off real good then start out riding slow on them to break them back it. IS HE SMOKING CRACK? Or is there any sort of logic to his stupid idea? (oops-I meant to post this in the general forum.)
