as said i think i got a good deal on a front tyer.

bt023 fitted ect £105.

i know that sounds a bit steep but the local bike shop wanted £110 for the tyer plus £10 to get it fitted plus another £20 to take the wheel off. thats £140.

plus i dont finish work till 5 and all the tyer places shut at 5 to 5:30.

found a guy who is a mobile fitter came out at 6pm put the bike on stands took the wheel of fitted the new one and put it back together for £105.

I know its only £25 but for the convinence and 25 squids for fuel to scrub it in.

any one wants his number pm me he works 7 days a week.

Good find. I'll have his number off you. Doubt he'll come out this far but you never know.

Did he fit a new valve and balance the wheel.

Looking for a new front, went round a few dealers today in Northumberland. Was thinking about Conti Road Attacks, but everyone pointed me towards BT023s. Whats the general view.
