Title: Does it get any better?
Post by: Timbox2 on June 23, 2016, 06:08:53 PM
Than new tyres and a twisty country lane.

I was never that happy with the Tourances that came on the bike when I got it, but they were brand new so Ive done my best and worn them out in 3800 miles.

Quick trip to Protyres Bristol today and a new pair of Anakee 3's with new inner tubes. Then the scenic route back via the old Chepstow road

Weird looking tyre I grant you, but they feel just like a normal road tyre which is what I was after

Tiger stripes? Or Maybe snakes.

New tyres are new tyres, but they definitely roll smoother than the block tread. Next will be the 17" front conversion if one appears, or Chris gets tired of his, I can hope :augie

Tim and I have many a chat on the phone and while solus boards are always bias these old 955's have hot to be the best bang for buck there is and yes a 17 front wheel would blow your socks off.

If that infamous Tiger ever comes up for sale I'll buy it and loan you the front as a demo  :icon_lol:
