    I found that increasing the pressure by one or two PSI can sometimes help.
    It is also a cheaper way of curing the fault.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Hmmn! just had a TKC rear and new tube supplied and fitted on a lose wheel for a ton (plus my wife took it there and back by taxi).

    Will buy a set of these and see how I get on. Will fit them myself

    Yep, I got quoted about £104 for a TKC rear, hence the reason for going for the K60's. Great tyre in my opinion. Cant fault them on road or off - although havent been through any real muddy bits off road yet, but they have loads of grip so I expect them to handle pretty similar to the TKC.

    Well mine have gone! Had a new Conti Escape fitted on the rear & my old Escape back on the front. The transformation is amazing - on the wet run home from the tyre place I aimed for every pothole, rut, groove and area of overbanding and the bike was solid as a rock

    Good riddance Heidenau

    Well I was going to put one around my dart board and use the other as a planter. But with a bit of luck I may be swapping them with another member for some more Conti Escapes
