Hi all.
I am busy looking for a new rear. I am no rally champ or extraordinary rider, just a mere mortal.
Currently have a Heidenhau K60, loved it, good grip offroad, but not sure if I want to fit it again because of the wet grip. Had a little rain the other day and when gearing down the back end came out a few times. Although I think it's not entirely the tyres fault.
Anyway, back to the point:
I was initially thinking about fitting the Mitas EO-7, then came about the TKC-70.
Any of you have experience with both these options? The reviews for both look good, but I would like some input from a neutral perspective. Also I get a lot of different opinions regarding mileage.
1) how is the mileage on both?
2) grip on tar/dirt?
3) grip in wet?
4) alternative options?
I want to fit it to a 1200gsa.
I would appreciate any input.
Regards
Antonie
