@M_V wow! Thanks for the wealth of info. It does seem like a minefield and could certainly benefit from some standardisation!
@leggy_blonde thanks for clarifying re. The compounds.
I’m only planning to ride at Newport so only indoors. I’m sure when I’ve used their hire bikes a couple were on Zaffiro slicks which don’t seem to be available any more but the last one I used definitely had a ‘treaded’ road type tyre on it.
I think the Challenge Pista will be a worthy investment as I don’t plan on riding more than once a week.
