4 years on the Angels
« on: October 13, 2024, 08:11:06 PM »
As you can see I've not scraped anything but my bagel in those 4 years!

Front Liberty150i


Front City Grip on the LIKE200i.... (I think Clinton was in the W.H.)

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Not a year yet on the Anlas Winter Grips and the rear is already showing serious signs of wear!  Back to the CGs I think.

Ah, that would require photog' to squat.
I joined the T.H. exercise club - and we're not scheduled to do squats again until 01/2025.

Think I last did squats in '89!

2000 miles sounds like a very short lifespan! Even a Helix, which is known for destroying the tiny 10" rear tyre, gets more life than that. Some true 'winter' tyres for cars used to have extremely soft rubber...I wonder if your tyres have similarly soft compound?

Way back in 2013 I was advised by old hands here who rode in tropical rains ...to remove the Kendas on my new LIKE200i if I was planning on commuting in the rain through city streets.
The advice was to install Michelin City Grips ASAP.
At around the 440 mile mark I had my dealer install a set of CG's.
Still have that brand on the LIKE. 1st gen. CG on the front and the newer CG/2 on the rear.

I like them!
