Smile New Avon Storm and AFAM Chain (gold) Kit.

Just got back from FWR in south London. Oh my god my sv feels like it's being magnetized to the ground, It feels and handles like a new bike, I know i got to drive it like a old lady for the first 100 miles or so just to run the tyres in but seriously there is such a difference from old tyres and chain.

Big thumbs up on the new avon storms and chain and sprocket set....

Can take between 50-100 miles, remember that riding bolt upright does not scrub in the sides of the tyres! You can still crank the bike over, but you have to be gentle with the throttle and brakes.
