wanted new tyres, had the bridgestone battle axe or some rubbish spun it up twice and went and bought some pilot power 2 cts, thought i might as well strip and rebuild the front callipers when the wheel was off.

Don't get me wrong, great tyre especially in the dry... I'm just quite heavy on the throttle at points when my tyre probably has minimal heat, They get fantastic reviews so more than likely rider error Wink

Wearing quite fast though.

Had to fashion a DIY throttle stop just so I'm not thrashing round everywhere as its soaking down here Laughing
