racers and royals 8,732 Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) 7 minutes ago, bigcatdiary said: Difficult to say Tim, a lot of people seem to think it’s down to the quality of the tyres, it’s not the first time we have had tyre problems at Peterborough Yes maybe- but surely there must have been a reason why each rider had 2 tyres each previously( 1 race per edge = 4 rides) and now 1 tyre each with 4 spare edges under the same circumstances is not nearly enough. I wonder if the BSPA will be brave enough to comment on why 14 tyres used to be available at Peterborough and not now. Edit from what Neil has just posted maybe it wasn`t 14 last season ?

Hackett 220 Posted August 29, 2022 The Anlas tyres have been shoddy since they were introduced. Seen many a rider putting photos and showing tyres absolutely shot to pieces. So is it the tyres or the material that is now used at EofE - remember Zagar moaning about the track shale on Eurosport early season. Safety is paramount if the tyres are not up to standard they should be binned completely. Nearly as farcical as the Intercontinental Final at Poole/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted August 29, 2022 The picture of basso's tyre to me shows they are of poor quality. The edge he was using was clearly worn but that doesn't mean a whole piece of the tyre should break away from the centre as it seems to have done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
customhouseregular 1,651 Posted August 29, 2022 I’m a tad lost over this. Are riders limited to the amount of tyres they can use?. Do the promoters/team managers allocate tyres?. I expected riders would carry spares in their vans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
