I came back to SA to see my mom and flatted 15min into the 1st ride. There no car bottle throwing championships in Europe...... Its a mess out there. I did two road rides in December/Jan and flatted my rear tyre 10k's in on the first one. Amazingly a ride through lower Salt River didn't result in a flat...

DieselnDust Posted June 18, 2022 Share If they are using the tubeless tyres I would encourage the team mechanics to run those tyres in before use in a wet race. I had a pretty sketchy CTCT with a rather nervous new rear TLR Race. The front had over 1000km on it already and it was ok but not as good as the std Race or Race SL tyre with a latex tube. The tubes versions are so much gripper out of the box. Pirelli probably needs to look at the TLR production process. It’s almost like they use too much mould release. the flip side is these tyres hardly wear for the first couple of 1000km. Key to good grip is a running in period. Maybe even use older tyres that have lots of kms in them in wet conditions Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chainreactioncycles Evobikes imported them for a short while but don’t anylonger. whoever does challengetires might have stock but basically they’re hens teeth in SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
