  I used to run an F24 team (Viridity GRT) and we used Kojaks as there was much less choice back then. We ran them at a variety of pressures and couldn’t tell a difference - there was much more variation in driver ability. The wear rate is more down to the track - I’m sure if you ask other teams will tell you the worst, but Goodwood and Castle Combe were always gentle. Aero still rules F24 though, so you may want to prioritise puncture protection if there’s little difference between tyres otherwise.

  I’ve had Continental Urbans tubeless on the Brompton - the biggest issue I had was getting them past the brake pads which I assume isn’t an issue for you? Good luck if you go this way!

  I’ve not been on this thread for a couple of weeks as the tag wasn’t anywhere near me. Just come back to it and I’m thoroughly confused.

  Keep it up!

  I also calculated the time to the start line for the Le Mans start. The poor guy in last place took 76s to get over the start line, he got a huge cheer when he finally got going

  They’re in an odd format and I don’t quite understand why there’s a break 60% through, but they’re up at least

  Any news on results?

  I went off with a barely nipped up main hinge in my heat, took a lot more care in the final and was 42nd off the line…

  It’s heaving here. I’m rider 71 if anyone spots me, dark lacquer H6L.

  Good luck to anybody riding!
