I don't bloody know what geometry Phill runs! The point is that seeing the different styles of riding between Phill and I and our weight differences etc would definitely mean we'd like our setups different.

At the end of the day, it would be impossible to know exactly what is going on with someone's bike without running some sort of telemetry and logging. You can guess all day long and riders can only go from what they feel.

Every rider and every bike is different and both have a big impact.

IMO.

I find the 70 doesn't give me enough grip on the grass, rumble strips and track overbanding hence occasionally losing the front, back and sides of the bike...

Should I try the 60 next season?

I think you should try MT60's - we'll get you special dispensation on safety grounds

No worries mate, I didn't take it that way.

Apparently I'm having a sense of humour bypass this morning ...
