    The lack of air in them won't have helped at all, in terms of squaring them
    off.

    I test rode a B12 the other week... nice new Bridgestones it had, and it has
    to be said, I found it distinctly uninspiring, in the cornering department -
    it needed wrestling into bends, and even then didn't seem all that fussed
    about taking the bend.

    Maybe I've been spoilt by too many flickable 600s.
    What he said. :p

    I did this on the way to the BOSM on the back roads, the bike was like
    a pregnant hippo around the corners. Found just under 20PSI in the
    front :/

    Cue Platy with the sidecar toolbox that contained a handy footpump ..
    My race micron boosted mid range nicely on the B6. Unfortunately the
    'NOT FOR ROAD USE' emblazoned prominently across it didn't endear it at
    all to the Met Plod.

    But I sold it with the bike as the standard can had several worn off
    bits on it by the time I had finished lobbing it .. :)

    Cheers

    Paul.

    If it's engraved on the can, just polish it out with a Dremel[1].

    YKIMS.
