Michelin pro4 endurance

[e-rider]

So I thought I would report back.

I got a pair of Pro 4 Endurance tyres from ribble, I was going to save them for some wheels I am having built but I was swapping wheels tonight for some Shimano R501's I got cheap from Ribble to make do till my wheels are finished and I noticed that the back one was worn out so I thought I might as well try the Pro 4's out.

They are a hell of a lot easier to fit than the Durano's are so here they are on my bike and I will report back when I have had a few rides on them:

you didn't align the valves to the tyre logos - amateur ;-)

Just been out for a ride and yes they do feel a lot more lively than the duranos and I did a route I have done lots of times before and I did it faster than I have done before.

Ask me again in a couple of weeks when I have done a few rides on them but so far yes.

Nothing to do with wanting to get to the cake shop before it shut?

No the cake shop was shut it was 9pm tonight, but I suppose it could have been the huge bar of chocolate I had before the ride, you see us top athletes can do that potsy

I'll be able to give you a considered opinion at the end of the next week.
4 off Pro 4 Endurance on our audax bikes all ready for LEL (and carrying an old part worn Krylion just in case)

Actually mine have been on for a few hundred km already and no bad things to report.
Not 100% faerie-proof but like the Krylions they seem to survive intact many rides when you see other folks on the verges mending p*******s.

Thanks for that, form sent off today will see if they turn up

Should be fine, I rang michelin t'other day they aren't/weren't even half way through the allocation.

I just bought service course yesterday. So 42 days will get them to me just in time for the October downpours...

Worst case scenario it's £30-40 worth of 5* rubber for free.

Doesnt matter where you bought them just fill in the form and send it off.

The fella from michelin said they'd take anyone, I told him I had emailed wiggle and ribble, both said they were not participating, he just said we'd take anyone's proof.

Funnily enough I got an email from ribble the next day saying they were doing it...
