That's a pretty standard price BBC. As suggested, try Spannerman as he'll do you a much better deal than that I'm sure.

Never buy tyres from a 'bikeshop'.
As they (usually) have a small turnover for such things there will be little, if any, discount from the tyre manufacturers RRP, typical shop prices are 30-40% under the quoted figures.

As folk above said, try Spannerman. He's in Kirkby, just a few miles North of Nottingham on the M1. Will fit and balance 020s or Continental Road Attacks front and rear for less than half the price you were quoted up North. And you get free biscuits and coffee...

The tyre & exhaust centre in Leyburn is pretty good too... Give them a shout :wink:

jonboy 12-09-05 04:08 PM

You might want to rethink that. They're not the best tyres for the SV as they take an age to warm up and only become a top tyre when being thrashed - day to day they're not as good as an 020.
