    Talking of tyres back out on the new ones in the morning got about 40 miles on them so far so not looking forward to 7am 8c steady away ...get some heat in them and head for the flowing corners...

    OK so I got it fitted today, should hear back from Bridgestone in the next 3 weeks as the tyre needs to be tested etc so I'll let you all know then . The gentleman who fitted it said it was a bit under inflated which is strange as I took it up to 36 on Tuesday and hadn't ridden it since but we'll see... in the mean time, I'm gonna try to learn how to tighten my chain as my garage is currently closed and the weather is calling me out for rides

    I've just had a front S22 fitted so I've checked his picture against mine. The tread pattern is the right way round.

    Ditto - would be useful to know if there's a bad batch out there..

    bit late to the party but wonder if the bike was stored on concrete floors with wheels bearing weight (not on paddock stand)?
