Spent many hours replacing two snapped cycle wing brakets and waiting for some new wide carbon look cycle wings to turn up.The new wings fitted a treat.New ToyoA888's fitted and low and behold i have some grip - not much but some. I am sure it will get better once the tyres have bedded in.Anyone got any recomendations for tyre pressures.They are 205/55/15 and at present all on 18psi.Any advice more than welcome.
PS dont forget Sunday 4th November meeting at higham at 10.00 then heading to Sywell for noon.
