this is the result of a few laps of long hill on my own in the dry - obviously worked it hard on lefts lol
and lots of front wheel burnouts!
and over 10,000 miles! 8O
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Mine had 3 flats after 9,900 miles. I knew it felt bad but didn't realise how much until I put a new one on. Felt like a new bike :thumbup:
