bloody weather !

Just have and seems, unless I read it wrong, you loose 0.5 mph and a 60 mile ride over all sorts of terrain they were "As they came out the box"
My new Pro 3s fitted for a weeks riding holiday have suffered one small slit to the rear and a nick to the front after just some 250 miles.
Similar mileage on some Spesh 23/25 roubaixs and not a nick but you can notice the sluggishness in the tyre.
Ah well cant get the best of both worlds

As this thread has been resurrected. here is a further brief report. I'm getting used to the slightly sluggish feeling of Pro4 Endurance, it is only noticeable when compared directly with a more responsive tyre. I don't count miles but a couple of weeks and several wet rides later, including last Sunday which was apocalyptic with floods and gravel all over the carriageway, there have been no incidents of loss of grip and still not a mark on the tread, just one cut in the sidewall from a sharp stone which would at least have nicked the canvas of another lightweight tyre if not gone all the way through to the inner tube but there is a visible blue material under the rubber, presumably the breaker. They're warming on me.

Has your employer not heard of the European Working Time Directive, perhaps you need to have a word.

Thing is Bigfella, I'm my employer, hence the EWTD doesn't technically apply.

Any chance of getting the bike in the van, Rob? Driving through Wales and Scotland sans bike must be a bit galling!

I can't really afford to put the bike in my van as I don't know what I'll be carrying until I collect it, could be anything from a shoebox up to a full size pallet.
