I don't know if its me but does anybody else think the new stuff they are laying these days seems worse in wet weather? When i'm at work in the truck if its been raining the thing will spin its wheels very easily, it doesent feel all that good on the bike either (Michelin pilot road 2 if your interested).

I thought it was great at first in the 'summer' loads of grip, knee scraping if thats your thing. But now the temperatures are dropping off. I dunno, throw in some leaves and a few myopic car drivers still asleep at half four in the morning and you don't need coffee to get you awake.

I reckon we're just rediscovering our Winter riding styles again.

Bit of mixed-signal confusion due to the erratic weather.
