Briefly, I've now got a new set of BT023s on with a 120/70 front. Two words, bloody brilliant. The new rubber is silly grippy and the change of profile on the front gives a much more planted feel through the corners, seems to absorb the awful road surfaces much better too, especially the nasty gonna-pull-you-off-line joins in the tarmac on roundabouts. I'm still scrubbing the edges but got caught in the pi$$ing rain on thursday after 100 miles and they performed admirably. Oh, standard 33/36psi pressures too.

Confidence!!!

Thanks all!
