Hi Guys,
Sorry to revive this post.....I have been looking for tyrewarmer help and information. I have been looking for a good set of warmers and this post has been helpful as it looks like the benefits of warmers are split and many feel they are not needed. I have used warmers that work very well and the benefits are very good if you understand how they work with the tyres and tyre pressures themselves.
I.E Tyre pressures go up by a set amount with temperature. The pressures need to be correct as even quick riders with wrong presures can lose heat out of the tyre and have problems. I have been looking for about 8 weeks now for a good set of warmers that are reliable and do what they should and I have only found 3 sets that fit the bill and they are all about £400.00 per set!! I have tried budget warmers and all they do is give you grief as they are usaully un-reliable and can damage the tyre with too much heat or not fully warm the tyre and they are cold by the time you do finally get to the start line.
Good warmers are worth using but the cheap £150 sets are just generally a waste of money and can cause more damage to either the tyres or the bike as you cannot be sure they have done the job properly.....
Again sorry to intrude on this post but I have found your comments helpful while looking for warmers.
