My New Paddock Stand
 

So my ebay paddock stand arrived today so I put it together and went off out to the shed. I lifted the bike up on it and knelt down as I gave the back wheel a spin & then, as the wheel came round a nice big screw showed itself, lodged in the middle of the tyre. :x

lame,

look on the bright side though, its better that you noticed it now rather than at triple figures on the M-something or other.

Yeah I did think of that.

Does anyone know if £74 + £7 delivery is a good price for a rear continental road attack :?:

i havent i clue, but i know 10 pound is cheaper than a rear conti road attack :)



"a tyre fitter will repair that for around a tenner if its in a third of the centre"

my rear tyre has a plug in it after i picked up a screw in a aday old tyre :shock: :evil:

If you fancy a ride over to Mansfield drop Spanner Man a PM and see what he can do for you on a Road Attack.

Hmm, I got Road Attacks front for £62, rear for £70 plus £6 postage from SMD Tyres.

Are you sure it's not repairable?

I'd get someone to look at it before you splash on a new tyre, it might be repairable.

Hi, took the wheel to the bike shop yesterday and picked it up again today. £10 and it was fixed, definately better than buying a new tyre :D

you just saved yourself about £100 :shock: :lol:
