Avon Trekrider

Trekrider's arrived. ...I'll fit them next week and report back. They look a bit like the Distanzia's but with wider space between the blocks of tread.. Steve

They do indeed look like the old Distanzia but beefed up a little. Looking forward to your assessment...

Did a mixture of these 'Grey lanes' and A roads. Rode up to Box Hill in Surrey, then across to Hampshire on a random route. First few miles felt a bit like they .. (the tyres) ..were tipping into the corners beyond my input. ..if you know what i mean!. I think my old Distanzia was so worn out and a bit flattened off I had adapted to it.. and I just needed to adjust to a more rounded tyre . After 20 miles I found myself really liking the Trekrider's, the first part of my ride was in nice weather ( 10 degrees plus) , and I was soon flicking through the bends. Halfway through the heavens opened and it was driving rain for half an hour. The tyres felt great in these conditions, it's reassuring when you are on a busy bendy road with cars up your tail and you know you can lean over and brake hard if necessary ! By the time I was nearly home the weather had dried up and I was having a great ride....taking familiar bends and roundabouts at my usual pace. So for every day use the tyres are great and suit the Tenere well. Next step is to try them off road...hopefully next week! Steve
