i have no plans to track the bike this year (only been riding since August 07)
dont feel confident enough for that yet .

busters accessories has Pilot Sports in thier 'special offers' section for £119.99p for a pair
(dont get them from the michelin page in the site - they are £135 on that page)

if you use the promotion code VARADERO10 when you sibmit your details you will get another 10% off.
I got them delivered for £113.

as for breaking the ld bead - my mate has a bead breaker.
he rides club races & it saves him loads of money & time fitting his own tyres.
