What I've done to the Divvy over the last two days

[Muscle Bike Rider]

Well, after the recent bad weather I've been none to happy with the Avon boots on the bike, in the dry their fine but in the wet they are a bit scary, the front tracks badly, slips on white lines like you wouldn't belive and the rear feels really vague. So I have changed them for BT45's. Next I put some braided hoses on as the orignal brake lines were getting on a bit.

Result, well still scrubbing the tyres in but what a difference all round, bike feels a lot more stable and grippy, brakes although they weren't spongy have more feeling / feedback and they look good . Cleaned the calipers whilst I was at it too, all in all very pleased with the end result, its like a different bike now. Took me a while to do the hoses but the guides on here were a big help especially with cleaning the calipers, gonna clean her up tomorrow then enjoy the fruits of my labours

you cant just throw away tyres with tread left

it would be awesome if you could get them back but knowing bike shops they have probably sold them by now
