Got to say I've bought stuff from John, and bugged him with e mails looking for info, and he has ALWAYS been fantastic. Very helpful, and the kit he sells is top quality.

Snap, had them on a BB and they were great. Heat up quickly in wet and dry, fantastic wet grip, dual compound. Lasted about 5000kms if I remember correctly, but I can confirm this later.

Thanks for the replies folks. Don't worry if you can't remember it. It was a link to some publication where it interviewed a couple of Police riders and profiled their area of patrol.
