Looks like I wont be needing mine for a while.
I was saving away for my TWE wheels thinking end of August early September I can place an order in time for ABD and the wife comes home from gym tonight to inform me that she managed to back the car into a Honda parked in the gym car park
Fanbloodytastic there is a lazy $600 for excess and there goes my wheels for another couple of months
I wont be needing the tyres for a while
Oh, no! That's terrible. I hope there wasn't much damage done..??
As for the Conti's, so far so good. Rode 105km's on them last Sunday (which was their first outing) and they feel great.
I used to run 110psi(front)/120psi(rear) with the Zaffiro's but I've dropped to 105/115 with the Conti's and they do seem more comfortable to ride on (seemed less harsh on the road) - but that may be down to the slight change in tyre pressure as well.
They were quite easy to get on (and off - I put my old Zaffiro back on the rear to run the bike on the trainer during the week/bad weather) and they seem to roll nicely and are quite grippy (as expected).
The weirdest thing is seeing my bike every night when I get home from work and there's no more white tyres. It makes the bike look completely different (and I think suits the matt black of the frame nicely).
I'll post up a pic when I get a chance.
