The Dark Wob

​
Back on the road now. Sacked the undertray off for now because it was just cable tied on - might revisit this in the near future.

Headlights are massively improved - it really is like night and day. Fitted Osram Nightbreaker Laser bulbs - they seem really good.

Parking sensors are sorted too - there was a broken wire to one of them. . They don’t seem hugely sensitive but they do work which is nice!

Rear light is working again since I dried it out and siliconed it up - that’ll do for now.

​

Had a slow puncture on the NSF and a slower one on the OSR. Decided to sack all 4 tyres off and get it aligned at the same time.

Drives much better now, not that it was particularly bad before. Surprised the difference it’s made.

Disappointed the budget tyres aren’t some hilarious brand - RoadX is boring

Are RoadX better than HedgeX?

I thought it had decently treaded branded tyres on? Why didn't you get the punctures fixed?

Better than the "Security 2000" set fitted on my van, had to check the made on date to check they hadn't been in stock for 20 years already..

Could’ve done but the fronts were Accelera which I’ve had bother with before and don’t trust much, I’d been driving around with the NSF pretty bloody flat for a while before I bothered to check it, too.

Rears were Continental but not that new. Plenty of tread all round but I’m going to be piling some miles on quite soon and thought it best to just sort it properly. It does drive a lot better now.

Yellow dot usually goes under the valve innit ? Unless the red dot .....

Makes no difference in reality, especially at the price these tyres were. If they balance, that’s about all you can hope for.

I sack off fitters like that. Just lazy.

Especially irritating when they have to bung on 27 thousands weights to compensate.

I just fit and balance my own m/c tyres and it's going that way with the car ones.

They can have a kilo on each wheel if they want, it drives really well!

Seems like I’ve got some attention
