Cheers Spocket. ...it's great to be out on the bike! . I'm very happy with the Trekrider's, my previous tyres were Avon Distanzia's, a tyre I had 100% confidence in ...especially in the wet. The natural successor to the Distanzia's is the Trailrider ( about which I only hear good things ) but I wanted to try the Trekrider's as they should be better off road. So far so good. ..a great all round tyre with better wear rates than the Distanzia's. Cheers Steve
