New tyre fitted very quickly, I was in and out. I needed to adjust the pressure slightly but apart from that they did a great job. Worth a try.

Google will find them.

Bridgestone BT020 or 021 (sorry I can't remember exactly which one but it has been mentioned on here a few times as a good all-rounder). ?105 fitted.

I'm sure I could have bought the tyre cheaper else where and then got it fitted but I'm a bit time-poor at the moment so just wanted it done.

I also like to support local business rather than mail-order.

I just need to go for a decent ride now to properly scrub it in.

Yep, Russ is a good bloke, it should be mentioned somewhere on the site as I have recommended him before. He's round the back of OJ's...
