Good to hear John!

From time to time report back on how they're wearing. Never know when I'll need a set to head north!

What did I tell ya, bigjohn?

I got a chance to test the Shinko 804/5 combo on a combination of dirt and gravel roads over the past 3 days, and they worked fantastically. Maybe a bit too well as it encouraged me to take the Manstrom up something that I knew I shouldn't have, and I then ended up in a drainage ditch upside down with the bike on top of me and a broken footpeg.

But that's a whole 'nother story. The Shinkos were working great on everything from mud, to gravel, to rocks. Plastic drainage tile pipes, not so much traction.
