Where to buy fitted chain and sprockets? London area.

Knew it was on the way out but need it desperately now.
Does anyone know anywhere I can get this fitted today (Sunday) because due to work I will not be able to get it done during the week and I have a funeral to attend to on Saturday next week that the bike must be fit to ride on to it.
Any advise would be grateful, can travel this is not a problem.

Where abouts are you based? People may be able to suggest places near to you.

Neglegtic to say.
can travel anywhere in greater london.

I can't think of anywhere you'll get a set supplied and fitted on a Sunday at no notice.

Ok just thought i would give you guys the end of the story.
So chain is all sorted now got it done from a place in Kennington called Chas bikes
Got a DID x ring gold chain, front and rear sprocket fitted on a sunday for £167.53 including vat and all.
what do you think is this reasonable?
Its the 1st time I have replaced it on the big bike.
On the 125 it would cost about £30-£40, gone are those days at those prices, and I would usally fit it myself to but i won't have the time to do it this week and really needed Cilla fit for the weekend.

Sounds OK to me.

yer' i reckon you paid about £90 labour for at most 30 minutes work.wish i could get work like that

Hmmmmm this is why I rarely post or even bother to come on to forums as there always has to be a smart alec rather than saying something useful.

Maybe you could elaborate so we can all learn by MY mistake, even give some advise for next time, or what you may have done in similar circumstances.

I thought a heavy duty DID x ring gold chain was any where over a ton, plus of course the front and rear sprocket was replaced, all with heavy duty kit, on a Sunday with no appointment, just walked in and walked out.

Maybe if you were really smart you could have offered your services and make some money from it, I would always much rather pay someone who really needs the work / money.

As I said I am not shy of doing any general maintenance myself but unfortunately I have a funeral of a fellow biker friend to attend to on Saturday and it was of the up most importance that the bike runs with absolutely no issues at all. My weekday job is at least 65 hrs and I do not have a garage of which I can leave all and pick up where I left it later on in the evening.

So thanks for your input, it has been really helpful, as always I have learnt nothing new coming on to forums other than the fact that people can be complete **** by getting over familiar.

Not overly impressed with them, took the SV in for an MOT and they did about £100 of work without seeking authorisation, and it was all stuff that I could have fixed if they had failed it and I had taken it home.

Hoping that Essential Rubber will get their MOT License back before I need the Zed MOT'd...
