[QUOTE] I've got a similar situation. Brand new 014s, off to Portugal Weds morning and Cadwell Park a week after I get back. I'll be interested to hear how you get on.[/QUOTE] In the end, I did the three sighting laps at the start of the first session, then on the 'proper' session, I gradually built-up the beans for the first three laps. After that I rode as normal. Seemed to do the trick, as I didn't get any 'new tyre' moments. The BT014s were superb. I initially thought that they were pretty much the same as the 010s I'd had on it previously (the profiles are pretty similar), but on the second session I started scraping the pegs round Clearways - something I'd never done on the 010s - so evidently they've got a bit more grip, and are a bit more confidence-building. Pressures were at 32PSI front, 36 rear, which seemed to do the job nicely on a cool-but-sunny evening.
