Hi - sorry if this is a stupid question…
Went out for a nice ride today and it felt like the back wheel kept sliding out - it happened while I was braking (not even harsh braking) and even riding along a straight road. The only thing I did today was put air in it… does that effect it? 
…too much air ?
I put in the psi amount it said in the manual
The last week Jackie and I have found the roads round London to be very slippery. Today I was checking the air and found both bikes had tons of black greasy stuff all over the rear wheel, including the tyre surface. It was very oily and I made sure all the lubricants etc were where they should be, in the bikes, so can only assume it is a build up of salt, diesel, dust, mushed up leaves and whatever that has collected over the last two weeks since I gave the bikes a check over. A good spray down with degreasant and a wash off seems to have removed it and hopefully the roads will feel better tomorrow.
its slippy indeed…
have a look at the wheel nut just incase…
The new salt they use is less corrosive but more slippery. Rust or slides?
tell me about it 
Check that you haven’t picked up a nail and got yerself a slow puncture - voice of experience from today.
Have you got a tyre pressure gauge? (about a fiver from Halfords, size of a keyring). The air pumps at garages can be a little dodgy for giving the right reading and both too much and too little can make the back end feel a bit less stable than normal.
Thanks everyone - feel less like a complete tw*t now.
Bring on Spring!
This is exactly how I felt last Saturday on the North Circ…Should have called it a day and saved myself some sh*te 
The cold/frost increases the amount of resin that comes out of the tyre - just do a (relativly) small burnout - or properly warm up the tyre’s before you venture out!!!
You should see/feel the difference!
how much tread you got on the tyre
Checked thread and it’s a good depth.
Only got bike in November from Infinity and have only been out on it when I’ve been very happy with the conditions.
The roads are really sh*t at mo, think we need a big down pour to clean em up.
