The Cruisy Wednesday Night Ride 2007/08

Probably not the right thread, but the context is good, so here goes...

I'm very disappointed with how quickly the front Michelin PR2 is going off. I suspect that for the first time ever in my riding career, I will wear out a front tyre prior to its matching rear. I've done about 11,000km on the set so far, and estimate that there's at least 2,000km to go on the rear, which is behaving itself beautifully. The front, at current wear rates, may only last 500km tops.

And the forecast isn't looking that flash for a perfect summers evening tomorrow.

Must be that Ohlin shock you've just fitted. It's not that the front is wearing out faster, it's that the rear is wearing out slower. Simple really. Either that or too many stoppies!

Probably not but I understand tyre are specific to ride style and who better to ask than those who I ride with. Please PM me suggestions.

What are the chances today is going to get better!

[aer0]

[Bullitt]

9 bikes turned up.. 8 of us went up Paekak (Im sure that spelling isn't right) hill and back down, then on to Sandbar.

Abit of wind but nothing like earlier in the day.

Not the best of endings for Freakshow (Sorry I can never remember your real name) but no major damage done.

[aer0]

It was only a light brezze not a worry!

Well I found out I had two blown tail lights and Wasp was supose to follow me home so no one rear ended me but I think he got confused as he took off in front! Cheers.

And yeah I had a fewq scratches in the side but they have buffed out so SWEET
