These wooden spoked wheels had a metal rim around them and I believe they lasted at least 20,000 miles. I just got back from a Colorado ride and my Dunlop Roadsmart III tires at 6790 miles have remaining 2 mm on the front and 3 mm on the rear. Probably another 2000 miles on these and then a new set.
Reckon I’m too much of a handling coinessour for my own good. The lousy backroads around here don’t help but by the time I’ve gotten to 6,000 miles on every tire I’ve had on this bike the wear starts to be felt in the bikes handling and responsiveness and I trash them. The way I look at it is why would anyone ride a bike like the RS and have to suffer poor handling to to tire wear.

Not massively so and might just be new tyre placebo but I felt even more happy to be in the rain than I usually am.

Just put a pair of Road 5s on mine also. Initially, they feel really nice. The turn in is effortless. Less than 200 miles so more later. The 5s were not the plan for replacement of my Angels. I’d ordered a pair of the road 4s and received a pair that was already 6 years old. Got a little gun shy about a tire that may or may not still be in production so returned them for a discounted pair of new Road 5s.
