So I’ve already done 1470 miles in my first two weeks on the bike, its now up to 6670 miles and my friend pointed out my tyre in rather bad shape.
I guess I need to get to Essential Rubber ASAP tomorrow. I couldnt see there opening hours on their website thiugh, anyone able to tell me?
Also, what are the best tyres for me to get?
Thanks all.
i think ER are open from 8AM (could be 8.30…) I suggest Dunlop SportSmarts.
You know I noticed that when we went our seperate way … You had been tailgunner so that was the first look at the rear as it were . I couldnt figure out what it was I thought it was a trick of the light as you were over there and I was getting a bit of sun sparkle .Then woosh you were orf 
I use diablos on the SD . Well enough behaved rain or shine .
Thanks. Hmm, I start at 8am. Do you happen to know what time they close?
Sportsmarts are good for sunday blast, sporty ride etc etc , really good tyres, but if you want to do an extra more miles wile sacrifying just a little on the sporty side you can consider roadsmart 2 too 
There’s life in that!
:Wow:
If your going to ride to the tyre place . Get a marker pen and colour it in … bit less obvious then
I saw that white line as you shot off, and I thought it was a style thing - like whitewall tyres! 
Ahh good idea
Maybe I could start a trend? Or maybe that could be my excuse if pulled over!
It could catch on :hehe:
Fookin 'ell. How did your not notice that lol.
Bloody hell mate! how long has your tyre been like that?
It must have only been yesterday, I did see quite a bit of the back tyre during the Brugge trip, wasn’t there then. In fact, I’d be fairly sure it wasn’t there when I washed it yesterday morning too.
seems silly but double check that its not paint/chalk or some ****.
It is silly…that’s canvas.
ER have a Continental Motion available now, is it any good?
No idea. I called them not long ago and ordered a Dunlop Roadsmart he said it will be here the latest Wednesday.
I would really really expect you to have noticed you’d reached the markers in the tread long before you get to any canvas! :crazy:
In fact looking at the photo in the oprig post, you can see the marker nicely rubbed down in the upper left of your pic!
Metropolis Barnet can get me a Road Smart 2 For much the same as ER, so I guess I’ll do that Then I’ll look up about markings I need to check!
