They felt really strange when first leaving the garage but after a few miles to warm up and a quick click of the front compression and rebound they feel great. :D Can't wait to find out how they feel on a warm day, I've been pretty impressed already :thumbup:

They're amazing. Best tyre I've used, fitting a new rear one on Saturday! Wouldn't trust anything else at the moment :thumbup:

And now, I've tested them in the rain. It wasn't planned but with the way the weather has been today it was rather inevitable I'd say :lol:
Any way, turns out they are more sure footed than I expected. I can see why you like them Virt :thumbup: how many miles did you get out of the last one?

My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal

5-6k miles, though I'm not the quickest or most aggressive rider, so they'll probably last a lot less for everyone else :lol:

I found M7 little dull (not so sensible) compared to michelins, but performance everywhere and in every condition is great. Suprisingly they don't like lower pressure on track, just few psi on rear is enough.

Where did you get the temp/volt/clock from ?

And is it easy to fit?

Use some silicone tape on the stem for better grip

To be fair, it was fine until I reached my private airstrip and opened it up to 130kph :lol: but I'll do that, nowhere else to mount it really

Didn't have an SD card in it, was only testing that it would stay on before risking an SD card the same cost as the actual camera :p
