Glad you enjoyed it, there were a couple of us from Ham that couldn't make it this month.

If you have a close look at your tyres i think you will find that you haven't *chewed them up* but rather picked up extra rubber off the track as Mt Wellington has heaps of rubber laid down and that is why it is so slippery when wet. Just peels off.

Past savas(MAs at that) on my bikes have lasted 2 years mainly running at Mt Welly in the early days. Unless maybe you were running them with low pressures therefore over heating them.

Out of interest what pressures have you been running in your sava's BigAl ?
