Need to get some new tyres for the zed before AR7.5 (or whatever it's called).

Where's good (and where should we avoid) in Cardiff and thereabouts?

errmm.. sorry cant help on that, appart from Bevans, and a few other second hand bike shops about.. THOUGH, if you wanted tyres and can find someone to fit them, I think if you ask Andy in the HG shop, he may be able to help...
Theres also Thunder road up Bridgend way, or if you are willing to Travel, theres Paul Green Tyres up my way, hes usualy very good with tyres... and will give you a good opinion on what tyres to choose from, plus if he aint got it, he can order it in.. hes also open on saturdays to mid-day...

MG's is excellent, great service and came on time too. Seemed to care about making sure the fit was good and everything was put back together properly.

The Ponty tyre service place is on the road from Ponty to Porth, on the right just after the abandoned mine.

Bevans will do tyres, but are not keen on doing them in isolation from a service etc. They make very little money on tyres and have enough work to pick and choose.

Bevans have had a 3 week waiting list for services in the last few months anyway.

I've always used thunderroad because they've got a cafe and there are some decent roads to/from bridgend.
