Subject: thanks very much....
Hi,
as so many of you replied with extremely helpful info on the subject of new
tyres I thought i would take the lazy way out and send a general thanks
message. It would take me hours to reply to all of you individually. I have
been off-line (at home with a knackered back) for the last 12 days hence the
delayed thanks.
The info that I received was most welcome - I have now fitted a set of
Metzler Enduro 4's. I will let you all know what I think of them once I get
a few miles on them and my back gets better!
By the way, I fitted two new front discs this weekend - I tried to get away
with using cheapies.... big mistake I think. I used discs from a company
called Trade Direct who make their own 'Viper Stealth' discs for any make
and model of bike at #49.99 each. A bargain? I think maybe not. I ftted them
along with a new set of sintered Dunlop pads and the first time I applied
the brakes I got the most horrendous sound of metal on metal. Both disks now
have faint grooves in them, all i can hope' is that once the new pads bed
down, the disks will do likewise?? Wishful thinking no doubt. Anybody else
heard of or used this make of disk?
Thanks again, best regards,
David Bateman.
