Mood: is it the weekend yet??
nope but i had them on the numpty i just wrote off.

Fitted them before a 1000 mile tour of Scotland with missus on back and they seemed OK in rain, dry roads etc but we weren't going fast and tyres weren't scrubbed onto the sides. Got home, went out next day with me mate and on first corner lost the rear, can't wok out whether i hit a bit of unscrubbed tyre edge or the Scottoiller had put a fine mist of oil on the edge of tyre but whatever, the bike ended up on its side.

pair i bought had a lot of release compound on them so it might be worth riding very carefully at first or making sure release compound is all washed off first.
