front tyre
been out all morning on new 120x60 BT010 the front is definately turning in quicker than it was before. It makes the front seem a bit more lively on slower corners but at the same time the bike felt more settled in and out of the fast bends (90+) ....that's the only way I can describe it.
I will stick with this size in future !!

Dont know if you saw the article on the same scenario as your front tyre only on a F/blade in MCNews. A valid point they did make was that there are insurance implications. If you need to claim or are claimed against, and the incorrect tyre fitment was a factor in causing the accident, an insurer may deem you to have been in breach of contract. They could void your cover, leaving you high and dry.
