Tyre/Disc/Pads

Shouldn't really do things all in one go but trying a Sport Smart on the front with a Road Smart on the rear and a new EBC disc and Carbon Lorraine pads.

Well the Sport Smart is a step in the direction,I've already dropped the forks through the yokes and the sports profile of the tyre has helped as well,190 mile trip to Cross Gates caf� in Wales yesterday confirmed that.

The front brake has not been so succesfull,after fitting the radial front brake lever it was a great improvement but the EBC disc and Carbon pads are not a great combo and has taken the front brake back the wooden feel of the stock set up,I'll give it another couple of hundred miles and if no better try EBC HH's.

Well up in the Peak District yesterday,the tyre is a double edged sword major speed up in the change of direction even on the throttle the down side contact with any gravel and is ermm very interesting.

Front brake seems to be taking a long time to bed in but now seems to have some possibilities so will persevere.

Finally got there with adjusting the radial lever ratio from 18 to 19 which has made a huge difference.
