Would those be sizes: 120/70R17 front (diameter 23.7 according to Avon) 150/60R17 rear (diameter 24.2) Stock BT090: 110/70R17 (diameter 23.2) 140/70R17 (diameter 24.7) So compared to stock, the Distanzia is 1/2" taller in front, 1/2" smaller in back, effectively raising the front a 1/4", and lowering the rear 1/4" I am guessing you did not notice much handling changes on pavement??

I am guessing you did not notice much handling changes on pavement?? Dunno yet, haven't been out on it yet. I'm waiting for new sprocket bolts. I'll post back how it feels. I expect from what I've read to drop the forks a few mm's to get some quickness back but we'll see. And yes, those are sizes. Apparently these are the only sizes the SM compound comes in but I could be wrong on that. | |

How fast do you expect they break-in ? Going on feel only, I'd say pretty fast. They feel good now and just walkin around the house a bit I can feel them break in. I really want the ankle to break in for shifting. | |
