Essential Rubber - in Downlands Road
Used by just about every Soho member so they can't be that bad . . . |

FWR on Kennington Road. Cheap and friendly.

Nearly killed Rictus on 2 occasions, once by not putting a front caliper back on properly and then by not being able to rivet a chain properly. Essential EVERY time for me, despite FWR being < 5 mins from my place and essential being closer to 20 mins

Re: tyres for pointy in London
Yeah? Weird.
I've used them for years with no problems. Picking up a new set of 090s later, will see if I die riding back.

Re: tyres for pointy in London
Haven't used Essential, but used FWR once for ride-in, ride-out tyre fitting on a ZZR1100 and the front wheel wasn't balanced properly. I didn't notice til I'd got to the M1 because it didn't show til you hit 60mph. Rather than go all the way back through London and back out again, I carried on and had my local bike shop correct it when I got back to Flitwick.
FWR's prices are keen, but I won't be using them for tyre fitting again. |

Re: tyres for pointy in London
Gah. Didn't even get as far as a tyre fitting. Need to remove the wheels to do that and the rear spindle on the RGV's stuck fast.
Had to leave it with them and get the tube back to the office. All hail the stinkwheel money-pit!
