The first thing I thought when I got these tires is I'd never ride these in the rain.
To be honest, I didn't really think about their wet-weather handling characteristics. I have learnt the hard way by old-fashioned empiricism.


I know this tire was meant to compete with the Comp Pool, but maybe they're really best used on trikes.
I think you’re right – the tyres are better suited to trikes/recumbents. I have also had two punctures in 3 weeks, but cannot complain unduly as I went for the non-TRs...

I will probably go back to my original set-up, which worked well!

Heal soon.
Thanks - just road rash and a sore wrist, was back on the Birdy this morning and was taking it easy…
