Re:

Do you rate the continental grand prix slicks ?

Are you running 26" wheels ?

Re:

Yes theyre 26" and I love them, had them two or three years, I swap to splashbacks in winter to give a bit of better grip in the ice and such, and to give the grand prix's a bit of longevity but theyre getting a bit tired now so I'll be replacing them soon, same again I think!

Thanks, are they ok in the wet, I usually take things steady in the rain anyway.

I fancy a change from Cityjets to proper slicks.

Nice, not a million miles away from my build

I am building a bike that suits my riding rather than the other way round

Yes theyre not bad in the wet in fairness, but I'm the same as you, I don't try to get my knee down in the wet, so ive not pushed the limits on them, but I've not (touches wooden door) come off with them as yet

This old Killer V is amazingly lite and stiff. Makes a great road conversion.

My commuter bike, a '97 Kona Kilauea. I use Schwalbe Spicers if I can get them at a good price (the reflex strip is cool at night) but these Michelin Wild Run'rs are pretty damn fast.
