one set of near new dunlop GP A control tyres.

Only one heat cycle, used in 4 sessions at wakefield park (easy on tyres)

rear cost $270, only used for part of a trackday...

pics included.







Tyre sponsor wanted...

looks like you need to adjust your rear suspension to suite tyre and track to get some longevity from them

every bike in the paddock looked the same...

Im pretty sure thats a rebound problem mate. check out dave moss's videos

If i buy them do get a rear wheel and sprocket thrown in.......

see Billy Kontominos (WP 104.#) & Joel Hughes (WP 101.#) both on CBR1RRs with Suspension by Zenodamper

with some suspension attention your tyres will wear better, last longer and more than likely reduce times even further

Zeno had a look at them when i came in from a session, he said they didnt look too bad...

yeah sounds fair, but the tyre may not look much like that one in the pic....


oh BTW, can i borrow your front too? i might chuck a set of wets on your wheels...

that would be in regards to running them on worn stock susp... and he'd be right... given the times your punting i'm surprised they're not worse!

He'll be running the FX with you lot

Wakefield was his second time on the new bike (formerly GSXR750) and seems to be adapting well,sitting in the 104.s but should have a second or two up his sleeve by raceday. Joel is just a freakin natural

You can if you want to. Let me know though because I was going over Daves on the weekend to pick up coolers and stubby holders and I was going to grab the rear wheel as well. If you want it for next weekend though that's cool and I can drop the front over.

After I get my suspension back I can probably lease it to you for races. Might improve your tyre wear issues

yeah if i can borrow the front that would be goog glenno...

i wont lease it off you, i will drop my bike over and you can swap out all the bits for me while im out on your crim

my fat ass isnt helping the poor thing.

but just cant afford it for this round, maybe i need to go make coffee's for zeno on saturdays...

even that may be overdue for an OEM unit under track/race conditions

unfortunately that won't pay his rent & bills... if you're mechanically inclined and looking for an apprenticeship you could apply...
