Devils Bridge

[Skel]

Good run down to Devils Bridge today with the family and a couple of tag alongs. I
Love this bike I absolutely love this bike. It just brings smiles for miles and miles. Running Michelin Power 5?s at the minute as I was supposed to be on tour and finding they take some stick [emoji1787] turn in and feel from the off. 50+degrees knee to knee coming up to Hartside, and they never flickered.

Lovely weather Skel, it was 25c here today.

What pressure were you running the Michelins at ? The compound is definitely different from the Power RS, theres no visible soft/firm compound line Crown to Sidewall and I could feel mine squirm under hard exit.

I was 30/32 which for the previous RS and RS+ has been spot on, it left a nice wear pattern on the shoulders which you could read...these way less so...

Was the news footage in a positive or negative light? hehe

Hi Stu,
I generally run 34/38 and work from there mate. That seems to give me good feedback.
The New Power GP?s are the replacement for the RS?s if I remember correctly. Michelin have created 5 tyres including slicks but kept the same carcass, so you can progress through them with similar feel. (I?ll leave that to the pro?s to confirm lol) but defo going to give those a try to. Off to Oulton next month so I?ll hopefully have an update.

Cheers Skel, I like Michelins, they suit my riding style IE... trying to stay upright !

I think I might start messing about with tyre pressures a little more, the rear on mine was definitely moving on sharp corners, 2psi might be a good start. See how that goes.
