My R1r are used on the road in all weather, wear doesn't seem to be too bad tbh, as for damage if you're really pushing on in the dry you can get the blocks to slightly melt/feather but that's really pushin on a demanding road, I thought they were guff in the dry at first but as soon as I had...
yep flux are a joke, last year they quoted me 16k on my 172 cup, i laughed and hung up then this year they actually gave me a decent quote but in the end i went with Greenlight at around £50 more than flux for the simple fact they took the piss previously and the free MODS was a bonus

i always say nope it's not getting any more money when something goes wrong but you know summit, it's always fixed and think in the 32 month's iv'e had it the car stands me at about 8k and that's not really with much in the way of mods lol 3200 of it is the price of the car

May pop along to this and we can make it 4 cammed cars then lol
all depends if iv'e moved back to the North East by then as i'm just waiting for my start date at new job and then i'l be gone
Ohh it's not very nice in town but the Village i live that they're building is nice tbf, but 2 me thieves just get a good kicking and broken bones from where i grew up, just 1 of them things.
