I've got one on the back of my 950adv at the moment.
It's the second one I've had and I quite like it - almost as good as the Karoo or TKC80 off road, but with less of a tendancy to melt on the seal.

I think I'll stick with a TKC on the front though - it's only a few extra $$$ for little bit more piece of mind.

I am just about ready to get rid of my first rear tkc80, it didn't last that long, but seemed to do a good job....

And I am thinking about a hiedenau k60....... But if $$ wasn't a factor...which would it be?? Tkc80 or k60?

Try to ride gravel mainly, but living in AKLD means I go a fair bit of road to get there...and winters coming.

Thoughts?

How is the wossaname you're running holding up?

Just ordered a wassaname (fullbore m41) rear. Will be interestin with the deathwing front, but i am over knobblies, especially rears as they just don't last very long and i am planning some longer day rides. Will have to ride slow in the lumpy shit.

Would like to try a Kenda 761... look as they have more cross grooves

Similar situation to me, but I commute as well. K60's should last fairly well. Hopefully they give the road performance I need, because I do spend a lot of time on the tarmac.

A bit O.T. I know, but...
Fancy a ride round the block this sunday Woodman ? I haven't decided on Lewis or Arthurs, will decide on the day.

If money was no problem - TKC80.

Will get back to you on that, but yea may be a goer, as long as the new tyre arrives on time (which it should).

What exactly is "the block" ?

Sounds like a perfect situation for 705/M41's.

Tyre arrived today, its a bit errr smooth. Harley riding guy at work looked at it and thought it was an almost knobbly(he does ride a harley I spose).

We'll see.
