Well, the last rear lasted ONLY 9,005 miles!

Since last October I have:
  • Replaced the rear caliper carrier (an idoit tyre monkey bent the last one)
  • Replaced the speedo pick up - wore the last one out
  • Replaced the clutch cable - the old one stretched too much


Now covered 58,000 miles

The saga continues.

The next Road Attack on the rear did 10,800 miles.

Thought I would get adventurous and got myself a Pilot Road 2 to see how that goes.
