    Tyre - rear only

    Well, looks like I need a new rear, as it's developed a crack in the sidewall (something to do with there only being 10psi in it, probably - thought it wallowed on the TT course ).

    Currently running a TW47G front and a T66 rear (as on the bike when I bought it), and the front has a good amount of life left in it.

    The question is, should I just get another T66 if I can (now replaced by the Anakee, apparently), or is there another rear that would work well with the TW front?

    They'll have to last for my little trip to the south of Germany in July though

    And I'll have you know that I've already gone past the average annual mileage on the bike prior to me buying it - alright, it was only 660 miles per year before, but I'm closing in on a thousand since January

    I'll have to find out how much they are, but as I'm just forking out for council rates and water rates, pennies are a little short at the moment

    National Tyres over here want £52 front, £77 rear, and that'll be fitted price IIRC - how does that sound?

    Not bad price Ben, mine was about £110 and had to fit them myself. So for another £20 fitted certainly not bad at all
