please post the direct link on your dragdrop link- i have some issues and like to see and read of experiences removing bearings
Thanks...good point...I'll have a read of some Anakee reviews! Here's the droplink link...grab a beer... https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/2002-rear-hub-drop-link-and-now-swing-arm-service.30542/
Hi Daniel, Tyre opinions can be very divisive... Aesthetics of tyre tread as an influencing factor is an interesting one and I would think it has a greater impact than most realise... From personal experience, I had Michelin Anankee tyres on my 2014 Triumph Explorer. As with most modern tyres they were very competent (more so than I!). I only used them on road, although as Jurkka has stated they claim to be a % for trails... The only downside I found was that they were particularly noisy on the road (likely due to the tread pattern). Personally, I would not put them on my 2003 Speed Triple 955i as I am very much a fan of the Michelin Road series tyres for my particular riding style/needs. However, from what you describe, I would suggest the Anakee tyres could suit. Enjoy the quest!
Thank you Sam... I am thinking aesthetics is probably not the best deciding factor! But...then, as ANY tyre will be more capable than me; perhaps it is as good a factor as any. But then...I catch myself in a window, and, as an overweight chap on a bike, perhaps the aesthetics boat sailed a while ago anyway! Bike shop says current tyres are OK...certainly wear wise they are fine...my concern was they are now 6 years old though...but they still pass the fingernail test and feel "springy" still...so maybe it is all a bit moot... It is another biking conundrum...tyres seem so individual/specific to each rider...but wouldn't it be good to be able to "try out" different tyres, on your own bike, for a few miles, before committing!? The quest indeed continues!
Hello @DanielB , I do not ride a speed triple but here is my experience with the anakee adventure https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/anakee-adventure-on-tiger-900-gt.32715/
