So Ptero, how are those Angels working out? I would love to hear some riding feedback.

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

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).
