I've repaired two rears with patch/plugs & have had no trouble
running them until they were worn out.  This includes 135mph+
riding (on the track, of course :o).

I'd say yes.  I just had a set of 020's installed and I intend to
immediately replace the front with an 010.   While many don't
seem to mind, I find the 020 front's tendency to stand the bike
up under trail braking to be very unnerving.  It must be a riding
style thing . . .

Anyone want a deal on an 020 front with only a few hundred miles
on it?
