national tyres?

+1 for National Tyres at Barnsley - they only do loose wheels now, although you can use their tools to remove the wheels (handy when the rear sprocket nut is 90mm or whatever on the Triumph)

Be nearer going to the Fax, and getting sarcy comments from Rob...which are all done with a deadpan face, making you thinks hes an absolute tw4t, which hes not

I've not actually used them but heard good things plus they were the cheapest quoting on avons (so possibly most tyres).

not sure if they're too far for you andy or if there's one closer? (understand it's a big company/franchise)

Thats why I qualified it with Barnsley branch - some franchises can't/won't do bike tyres.

yea barnsley is my old stomping ground. might give them a call.

i like rob as a bloke dizzy but the fact that i had to argue with him to get him to balance my rear wheel (which subsequently fixed all my vibration issues) and the fact that he didnt bother lining up the tyres with the valves makes me wonder if theres anyone else. I know im a fussy begger but thats just me

. i would and have taken the bike to him for other stuff tho.

errr ok.
Robs done my tyres for years, never had a problem with them whatsoever, after all, hes been fitting them for years too. You most certainly need your front balancing, but its no so vital for the rear.
Hes fit tyres to the ZZR with no issue, and truely, if there was to be a nasty problem, the ZZR is a bike you don't want one on

He did a service on it too, in an emergency, and MOT'd it. If I didn't trust him, I wouldn't go.....I'm funny like that too

yea ive got no probs with the bloke himself just the fact that he made a right old fuss. i know hes a bit like that tho.

anyone got any experiences of the pit stop place?
