Yep!! To prove my point I'm going to put my money where my gob is and fit Avons over the winter and spring - ride them as I would the 020's currently fitted - then report back to you lot !
RHINO said::bow: Clive from AVON has been on the phone and explained a few points to me about his tyres and i have explained a few things to him!
The top and bottom of it all is AVON ST range is probably better all round than the 020 but NOT as good as the 010/011 combo i generally use.
The ST range is the equivelent 'sports/touring tyre as the 020 but with a different construction. So the reason i have so many moments with them is coz i still ride as though i have my 010's on and the Avons don't like it...
In all fairness to AVON & 1200Pete i believe that maybe the AVON ST is better than the conventional Bridgestone version (020).
There is an updated AV49/50 being brought out before next season and i have agreed to aquire a set and give them a whirl.
This is by no means a back pedal from what i stated previosly as i do think the ST is terrible in the rain but i will give the NEW model a crack in spring.
Thanks PETE :beer:
Fook me no it dosn't I've just got in from work and it's raining much against my better judgement I'm going for a little 40m ride up some of my local twisties on my bird we've had a lot of heavy rain this last few days so the roads should be fairly clean I'll be back later to reportDIRTY SANCHEZ said:Does this conclude the thread then? :dunno: :B :}

Appreciate that in terms of demographic-socio grouping you may be somewhat amiss from Clive but, please, stop taking the pi$$ out of anyone/everyone on here
Clive happens to do a bloody good job - may not be to your "Balls Out Track God" style but to those who know him/ride with him, we happen to respect him and HE DOES CONTRIBUTE something positive to this community [truth be known he may probably even be a faster rider than YOU]
Yes - we all know that the Barge isn't a Track Machine
Yes - we know that some rider like to have the luxury of hard luggage
Yes - GPS is a god-send when you're lost in Asda carpark [oops]
Yes - some of the members smoke pipes, drink Sanatogen and wear fluffy slippers [you been peeping again?]
Yes - we know your a Track God to be held in the highest possible esteem
But FFS give it a rest?
Christ only knows why you bother to frequent these parts!
Yes - I am in a BAD mood this evening!!
