Just swapping tyres on my one show bike for some nos comp 3's

Where does this stuff come from?

I don't remember it bitd, why don't new tyres nowadays come covered in this stuff?

My bike looks shite with em on, looks like it's been ridden through cement dust... $:-\$

Looked better with the used tyres on...

And i've been washing grips and stripping some pedals (again).... i must be mental....

Don't even know if it'll fit in the car yet?

Gotta love last minute preparation....

It doesnt happen now because now they use an aerosol silicone based release agent [damn something from one of summer jobs in a rubber factory has come in useful!!!]

If it's a rider it'll not last long

.

If it's a show bike leave it IMO .

WD40 gets it off and will leave your tyres nice and clean.

I heard it's really good on brake blocks too to stop that annoying squealing noise
