Sorry to disagree, but sanding the edges won't eliminate the problem. The
tire has to get through a few heat cycles to get rid of the mold release
compounds and volatiles. They cause the lack of traction, not the
"smoothness" of the tread. Ask a race shop if you want some confirmation.
Don't want a new rider to think that sanding will do the job and find
otherwise on the street.
