RE: Pirellis fitted - Henrik_imp - 07-17-2015
So Ptero, how are those Angels working out? I would love to hear some riding feedback.
RE: Pirellis fitted - Pterodactyl_imp - 07-19-2015
G'day Henrik. As of today I have only put 9.6kms on them, so too early to report. I have just had a two week holiday in Thailand and on returning to Australia we went to Canberra to visit friends. So no chance to ride any distance. Before riding again I am going to service the brake system. I did notice that when I replaced the front wheel after the tyre change that the front pads were approaching the wear limit. Also the lever feels a little soft despite a thorough brake bleed. I suspect that maybe one of the caliper piston seals may have been contaminated so I will pull the front calipers apart, inspect and then replace the seals and pads.
Cheers.

Thanks for the update!
I hope Thailand was good, and that you can now get back to the important work of getting your bike take care off!!
Cheers,
Henrik

Any update on how you like these? I am considering a pair.

You will like them. I got these fitted on my CB about 3k ago. They are like riding on velcro compared to the stock Bridgestones (which were pretty good in their own right).

Ptero, did you measure the depth of the tread front and rear?
