    Sooo.. after shelling out a disgusting amount of cash on the bike lately..
    Need tyres :D If you have a set of something decent laying about in 120+190/55 around the house
    (i.e. you bought a bike with really nice tyres on it only to convert it to a track bike and took them off)

    Please do get in touch :D Thanks!

    I've got Michelin PR4 120+190/55 that came off my Blade last month. I only swapped because I bought some summer tyres for a road trip to the Isle of Man.

    Have you had a look at https://www.mandp.co.uk/, they have some cheap pair deals every so often. Whats on offer seems to change, but I got a pair of Bridgestone BT-016 Pros for £119 about a month ago. Rear was a 190/50 though.

    Flat in the middle? You're having a laugh.:eek:

    Maybe your screen resolution needs adjusting.:rolleyes:

    All the female members will be clambering for a pic on your screen - just so they can be 'flat in the middle'. :D:D

    "What is that red spot in the middle of the "hilly" looking thing? Lemme get my 3D glasses.. Hmmm Hmm.. I've never seen such a thing, is that a medical condition?"

    Yeah the rear probably is squared off a little as I felt that I was always a bit nervous on the road after an accident a few years ago.
    Just checked the mileage on my MOT's and the bike had done 1,405 miles with those tyres on. Plenty of life on them, but it's the usual thing where they wear faster in the middle, depends on how you ride I suppose.

    Here's a picture of my perfectly manicured thumb for reference :)
