Either i minimise the skidding habit or find a better alternative tyre for this purpose. ® suggested Soma Everwear and I'll look further into these thick heavy tyres. Hope we're not compromising much on rolling resistance.

The scars of skidding.
Two weeks ago i got a new Vittoria Rubino tyre for the rear wheel. Two weeks later, to my surprise the tyre is already showing sign of (badly) wear & tear. It's a nice affordable (£12.50) tyre with very low rolling resistance (145psi) but if you're thinking of using it for skid stoppings - i wldnt recommend. Hutchingson Quartz seem to withstand much better to skiddings but it's more expensive (£20ish).

yea the rolling resistance is another factor but i guess if it wears off too easily and cash out more than ever maybe then it is only wise to go for Soma... meaning you've to pedal more than usual and spent less or vice versa :0
btw, i am getting a new cog: Grunge Track Cog 18T. never heard of it? same here mate. But according to Shinya it's a pretty good cog/reasonable price or should i get back a Soma 18T from the bay? such a bitch to decide... EA track cog is way off my budget though...
hey what's the reach of your front brake? 49mm? i'm thinking of installing one for temp. obviously with gold finger [white/black]
