I've never seemed to have major problems with trailwingsbut there are a few bends where I need to manhandle the bike, especially on righthanders and at bike meets I felt I was a little slower through the bends than my group generally. I've put 7500 miles on them, loads of tread on the rear but square as anything, on the
front the tread was nearly down to the wear bars on the offside but plenty on the nearside. I have read of people getting 11-12000 miles out of the rear
Anyhow, my new mechanic suggested that despite being still legal the bike would handle much better with some new rubber so rather than go for Battlewings I took the advice of the forum and got myself a pair of Michelin Anakees. The difference is tremendous. I've put 35 miles on them this morning (taking it easy on the new rubber) but the
bends around Rivington flow much better, as do really tight righthanders and roundabouts. Also gone is some of the slow speed (<5mph) wobble that I used to get from the front.
So this time I'm blaming the equipment
Of course this just could be new rather than worn tyres but I don't remember it handling this well last year
