Default !70 Remould

Here this will make the traditionalists cringe … I have got Koncord’s finest 170 section Remould on the back of my bike!!

How cool is that!?!?

{Looks at completed auctions on eBay} ... oh yeah ... item 120094662215

That's not where I got mine, (I got mine on a spare rear wheel I bought) but yeah that's the same make/model!! £22 that auction ended for was a bargain!!

Only used it yesterday and today on my commute ... I have hardly put it through its paces but nothing untoward to report

Been there, done that, de-lamination at speed is a bitch

Cheers Mark.

(still got a new set of Bridgestones out of it).

Why do you reckon riding on a remold would make you 'die'?

Have you ever tried one? Seems to be working fine for me, predictable grip, stable .. what more do you want?!!?

Because they could, yes I have thanks, never had a proper one let go like that, I'll waste my money for the safety thanks.

Cheers Mark.

'Let go'? They seem fully predictable to me ... even in the p1ssing rain this morning they delivered ... water dispersion is good, even at speed Heatup is good too ... I had steam coming off them by the time I got to work!!

Its still early days, but I have nothing negative to say about it at the mo!
