    Anyone try Anakee Roads yet?

    My local shop doesn't list a 110 front tire option for that, only a 120.

    Anyone try Anakee Roads yet?

    The tire shop had both the Anakee Road and Road 6s in stock. I checked them out and ended up going with the Road 6s because they just looked beefier and more substantial for 90 bucks more. The 5s gave me over 10,000 miles with decent handling till the end so I'm expecting similar bang for the buck.

    Most comfortable ear plugs?

    I use Howard Leight Max Lite. The key to inserting them easily: Roll an earplug up and lick the end being inserted. Reach over your head with your other hand and pull the top of your ear up. Then insert the plug. Quick and easy. These never bother me even riding all day.

    Anyone try Anakee Roads yet?

    These are newly available where I am, 90 bucks cheaper than Road Sixes. Wondering if anyone's tried them yet on their S10. https://ridermagazine.com/2024/02/07/michelin-anakee-road-tires-review-gear/

    I'm past 10,000 miles on my Road 5 trails. Still got a little life but will be replacing soon.

    Shinko 705: A cautionary tale

    That might've made the difference. I didn't take the big pig on dirt, have other bikes for that.

    Shinko 705: A cautionary tale

    How much mileage in total do you have on them? I also bought my Tenere used and it came with the 708s. They lasted another 13000 km / 8000 miles before I swapped them. Weekend riding and commuting, no super heavy loads.

    Shinko 705: A cautionary tale

    Anyone else have an issue lately? Thinking about getting a set of 705s, they're $200 less than Michelin 6s.

    Surprisingly unreliable.

    Pretty uncommon experience. I've had two S10s and have put about 70,000 miles and they've been flawless. The first one needed a clutch at 30,000 miles. That's about it other than regular maintenance. It may be lazy to blame the flash, but you could return to the stock map and see if it makes a...

    Luggage choice : Bummot, Metal Mule, Touratec, Holan

    If you lane-filter go with the narrower set. You'll use them more often after your trip is over. That'll also make you pack more carefully for the trip. People tend to take too much stuff.
