Running BT014's front and rear. When they are both shagged, im going to try something softer. Got such a hard ride from the 014's which took some of my confidence with them. Felt I could get away with far more with an 090 and yes as people say, those '090s are like sh**t to a blanket.

I suppose its sensible for me, with all the commuting I do on the NC' resistance to squaring is of course a good thing :)

the b90's sounds good yellow_blackbird.. I havent got the confidence up to lean to far on my new front tyre yet.. as its my first bike and first time on a new tyre..

Hopefully this weekend when the weather has cleared up a bit I should be ok..

You got the same helmet as me!

Had a set of bt014 on my nc30 didn't last long so i've put a bt016 on in a 160 width zr rating so fine for a 400. i've noticed that stabillity has increased but will let u know how they perform with the tripple tread compound.
