Hi can anyone give some advice on shaving a Try-All tyre for flatland riding? I know Xav and Spencer do it and just like to no how. Thanks

You could just ride in circles for 13 hours. On loose gravel.

I accidentally did this to a CC tire by just ridding it, and rotating it every few months to even the wear out. Now I have a completely bald tire that rides smooth for street, grips well for trials, and makes muni rides very interesting because of the lack of traction.

Just ridding it for a long time is always an option. Ive had this tire (http://youtube.com/watch?v=WlgLAuvBG-Q)for a year now and still ride it.

yeah but does that thing bounce at all?
most people would have already gotten a new tire.

How would the fact that the tread is worn down affect the "bounce"?

yeah. the tread gives it a lot of bounce.
put a new tire on after riding a worn down one and you will notice the bounce difference

Ridding it of what? Demons? Parasites? Rubber worms?

Bounces just as well as the two brand new CC tires I have. I even switched from the new one with tread back to the bald one.
