I put my Heidis on last week ...

[Greggers]

.... So far very impressed.

I thought they were going to be a real pain to fit as they were incredibly stiff - I sat on it before it went onto the rim and it supported my weight !! In the end though it slipped on with minimal straining ...

First ride out on them and I nearly dropped the fecker - the Heidis are appreciably taller than my old 'Wings, and my usual leg swing wasn't quite high enough and I got stuck half on and half off....

Riding on them for the first few miles was interesting, they don't make much noise, but they do make a strange kind of 'burring' noise between 20 and 40 mph - I first thought it was my chain rubbing, but it was definitely tread vibration.
They seem to have made the steering very much quicker, the bike turns in really easily, but at speed it seems to become much more stable. As it was wet today I wasn't going to tate too much p!ss out of them, but they feel very planted. Heaving on the front brake brought the ABS shuddering into action, but that might improve after a few more miles.

Overall - I'm very happy and would suggest anyone looking for a change to consider these quite strongly...

By Heidi's you mean Heidenau K60's, right? Not annoying little girls with suspicious grandfathers?

Or maybe it was the little girl
