Hey you Armadillo users. I have friends that won’t ride anything else. They don’t push the bikes that hard. They are retired and average about 4000 –5000 miles a year. My concern is the grip. My friends bought Sevens and gave one of their old bikes to my backyard neighbor. When riding with my backyard neighbor almost the save weight and power I find that I my Mich pro races will hold much better. For example on one flat counter I’m leading and I have no problem. Behind me on the same line I hear a bit of a slide and )!@*%*!@% But they stay up. The lack of grip I and my neighbor find more of an issue.

Are they just a commuter tire and mileage training tire? Do you ever push them when corning?

Help

Cheers,
Dusk
