Would have been under a year ago (was last summer) - got them from Busters! Fitted them myself, though.

hmm that is a good price, mine were from the shop last summer too. Never thought buster's prices were actually competitive.

Quite a few are competitive on the D208RRs I think - picked up a second rear (not yet fitted) for £79 all in i think it was (Ebay)

Got a pair of D208s on my K4, the one thing I've noticed with them is that they seem a bit twitchy when cold, once they're warmed up they're more than competent enough for my commuting run (27 miles, 17 miles back roads, 10 miles of London roads)

I'm still waiting to see how many miles I get out of them but so far it's 1000 miles with no signs of wear at all.
