I have 010's on at the moment, vague to say the least. Is it possible to put a 020 on the rear with a 010 on the front, any one know if the profiles are the same?
I dont usually bother with stuff like that but i am getting older, and the rear is worn out. The 010 lasted 2500 miles, but i read on hear that the 020 is double compound so should last longer, or i need to stop spinning the rear up !
