On the subject of tyres - BT020

I take it that these are fine and dandy?

There's a new BT020 on the back of the Bumblebus, but the front Azaro is
approaching end of life. I presume that simply lobbing a new front 020
in it's place is a sensible enough thing to do.

 

Anything's sensible compared to an Azaro.

I seem to remember popular choice used to be to put an 010 on the
front and an 020 on the rear so I suppose it'd be an 016 on the front
now and an 021 on the rear.

 

Sounds like a good excuse for "making progress" riding or just some donuts.

Azaros were just fine for me, and I'm quite happy with the Storm ST
tyres that replaced them - they suit my riding very well.

I suspect you're just not in the target market.

 

They are until you get them really hot and push them hard, then they go off
on one and slide like a bastard. Like riding on a m-way at 130ish for a few
miles. Or going round the TT course.

I can't comment on the ST that replaced it.

 

Mine didn't slide at Mallory when I was getting them melted to **** all
the way to the edges.

 

What size does it take, only I have a, 'still got the bobbles on the
tread', 020 120/70-ZR17 I was contemplating lobbing up on eBay soon.

 

I used to rate them then Andy had his TT experience followed by mine
going off travelling through Scotland on the Bastard 12.

 

That's because we were using them on 1200cc Bandits rather than the
slightly less masculine 600cc version.

It's a 120/70-ZR17.

Where are you and what do you want for it?

 

I'm down in darkest Kent.

Given it's almost like new tread wise, I reckon it's worth £50.

Can get it couriered over by DHL for something like £8, assuming you
can't wait for the UR to kick in, if you did want it.

 

I'll check on the price of fitting from my local place and let you know

 

Okey dokey.
