Just a bit disappointed at having to replace rear after 4500 miles. Grip ok in wet and dry - much better if preload is soft for some reason.

But I'd hoped for 6k miles. However, am now on 7k miles and the replacement is holding up well.

The most gutting thing is swapping over a pretty square tyre from dual carriageway riding. My only satisfaction is the lack of any chicken strip whatsoever, and I haven't been on a track!
