I was hoping to leave my 'almost worn out' 020's on for a little longer, at least until just before I went to Assen, but following a puncture in the rear over the weekend my plans was scuppered.
So now they are off and the Avons I've had from Blackbird Spares are on.
Went out for a quick blast last night to begin scrubbing them in and hit some of the local islands, initial feelings and feedback is very good. The sharper profile on the front certainly makes the bike tip in quicker and with a bigger contact patch (as the side walls are flatter) gives a better feel to the front. :bow:
All I need to do now is explore how much grip the rear offers when laying the power down in a bend, chicken strip - bye bye.
Me thinks it was a good choice. R#?
