Default 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.

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

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.

You'll also taste the delights of his coffee and his guard dogs will taste the delights of you http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=50894

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
