can anyone recommend a place in central london to get my rear tyre fixed. losing air slowly but surely. can't see any obvious nails etc in there but must be something.

ideally a mobile tyre fitter?

all offers of help appreciated.

thanks.
Will.

The guy from Cavalry is amazing, he has sorted my black SV out twice now in Fitzroy Street and Mr. Toad is right.....that bike is a sight to behold! Top bloke! I still have the 3 inch screw he pulled out of my rear tyre!

touch wood, I haven't had to use him with the SV

He manages to get all the kit needed for fitting and balancing tyres + a pretty big air cylinder onto the back of his bike :shock:

The Cavalry man (jim was it??) is absolutely the best thing on 2 wheels. :D

When he arrived at my house some time ago i was truly gobsmake by his bike.

Then he started taking out the tools :shock:

Very nice guy too :thumbsup: and glad others here feel as positive about him as i do.

he even had a go at bleeding my back brake while he was at it cos when i got the back ouncture i also managed to undo the back banjo and squirt barke fluid all ove the back wheel and tyre.

well that's what i call service - all sorted. Leaking valve was the culprit.

Thanks for the recommendations, 100% happy :D

Did he have to unpak his wares out of the bike to discover that Will.

Did you get the full experience of tools out all over the floor and pappock stand up, air bottle out etc?

that's bad luck :cry:
are you doing anything like filtering over the hatched areas approaching lights, or other areas of the road that debris gets thrown into

repaired, bit close to the edge of the tyre. still lots of life left in the tyre so couldn't justify getting a new one.

unfortunately the speedo drive spockety thing broke when he took the front wheel off. looks like it was broken before and been glued back together. will be speedo-less for a while until i get round to fixing it.

joe, you have PM re a new drive sprocket wotsit.
