    pacestar on front.

    have a feel of the compounds, whichever feels softer stick that on the front.

    the difference between compounds will be quite slight so its up to you really

    Unless the pace star was an unexpected upgrade, why would you possibly keep the Orc one?

    Yeah, send the Orc back, that's a big downgrade. Well, in most ways. On the plus side it'll last longer than the evo.

    +1

    If you ordered ORC have ended up with a Pace Star put that on the front.

    Not sure what I ordered, had a feeling something odd was going on.

    I stuck the Pacestar on the front.

    I honestly couldnt have been bothered returning them (id be giving out if I heard someone else saying that haha).

    Fair enough.

    Can I have £20 please? You've just thrown that away if you bought PaceStars and got an ORC.

    I already used the tyre though

    Might email them

    Yeah, its a £15+ difference, depending on what Pacestar tyre you ordered.

    Despite what everyone said, and now you've used it, good luck with that!

    Asks for advice > ignores advice > screws self over.

    It's a common bikeradar theme this...

    I asked the question as I was putting them on, didnt think there would be a big difference

    My original question was which wheel should I put on which wheel, I followed that advice
