Road Attacks!

Post by pmcq »

Its pissing rain here in Dublin, and I'm getting 2 brand new Continental Road Attack tyres fitted this evening..... should be a very interesting 30 miles home. I might as well just spray wd40 onto them to while I'm at it...! :D

Anybody else tested these tyres? I've read some reviews and they sound promising - I'll give my own review in a week or two!

Also getting UltraSeal put into them too so goodbye punctures! My current tyre has two plugs in it already....

Cheers!

Good luck! Make it a very slow 30 miles... 'cause we want that review :wink: . Just keep an eye out for cages behaving badly!

Shop I go to here actually buffs the wax off. Another guy I know will rub it off with alcohol. Still have to be a bit careful, but only for a few kms.

... or are you just referring to getting them over in the corners? There's definitely the occasional "loss in translation" between our dialects... :?
