[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 127310, member: 60"] I have had good results from Avon Road Riders on the Egli Comet as far as feel and lean so my next project (non Vincent) will have them especially as I find they do a 21" front :) (No 20" for Vincents :()and I was just trying to see if they fit WM rims I already have and it seems by this thread I am OK. I think I am unlikely to reach the speed ratings but I do like to have a rounded profile for corners. The days of teetering round on square sections are over. Confusingly I am OK on Trials Mitas at least they have hard wearing rubber not like the soft stuff the POGO stick trials bikes nowadays use but I suppose the light weight of my Trail bike helps. PS: (Trial and Trail how important is the position of the 'i' and 'a' nowadays! one (Trail) is still a motorcycle but I am still trying to workout what a modern trials bike is now:rolleyes: IMHO it was a sad day they allowed wheels to stop in a section without a fail) [/QUOTE]
