puncture repair centre central london anyone?
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. |

SidSquid will say that the only place is Essential Rubber in north london.
|
or if you need roadside assistance, try 'The Cavalry' :D
he comes to you & fixes it on the spot freephone 0800 956 7594, or mobile 07974 260311 cheers |
. . . and if you do call him out, take a pic of his bike. It's amazing :lol:

he asked who referred me but he does not know a Mr Toad, but thought he might know a simon with a noisy blue K4 :D |
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 you get the full experience of tools out all over the floor and pappock stand up, air bottle out etc? |
b*gger :evil:
just had to call the cavalry again, screw in the front :( it's quite near the edge of the tyre so hoping it can be repaired :( :( |

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 |
Yeh, unlucky Will. Hope he can repair it for ya.
|
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. |
