Hey all, 

Got new shoes on the Ol' girl today.   Was used to riding Battlax BT-45's and switched over to the Lasertec's for a try.   Both front and rear were changed. 

Of course,  I can't give much of an impression right now as they are brand spanking new (10km's only!)  but off the bat, already one hell of a difference from my cupped front and squared off rear BT-45's

I will keep you posted of my impressions as the tires get used down to where I can safely push them a little more.

Rock on fellas.

Yeah, how are the Lasertecs?  :scratch_one-s_head: I've been scouring web sites looking for new donuts and these are on the list.
