Ok, so I put a 2nd hand Kondor remould 170 on the rear of my curvy.
Have to say very happy with the levels of grip wet and dry. On that point, I got my first proper DRY slide ever on them yesterday, it slid predictably and came back with little or no fuss, if it wasn’t a 1 way, I’d have turned round and see what a darkie I had left :lol: oh and it only slid as I was a bit ham-fisted whilst cranked over ... the tyres not to blame really!! ;)
Anyway, like I said, well happy with the tyre and to date the tyre has shown no signs of delaminating (as some of the scare mongers will have you believe all bike remoulds will do) … I use my bike for commuting so it spends most of its time at 50 and below, but there are parts of my ride where I get it into 3 figures (KMH obviously {coughs} :lol:) pretty much daily, and she has been sweet as a nut 8)
Its about 3/4 worn now, so a pretty comprehensive test. To be honest I have no idea how many miles it has done, but if I have one complaint it would be that it’s probably not the beast wearing tyre?
