Be cheeky and ask them in the shop if they will give you discount on the new set, to leave them, they may decide to put them on a second-hand bike they are selling.

It's probably going to be more hassle to sell em private.

ps our local tip won't take tyres.

I only paying for fitting- I got the Z6 elsewhere- so its just a local fitters.. .... they dont sell bikes.

I will prob keep them - as I dont want them to profit from it !..

ok - heres the dilemma

I have no front paddock stand.!!


fitted to loose wheels is £19 ...


ride in ride out would be £28 ..


Paddock stand is about £30 ... but then I would have it forever.!!


and the local "coem to your house chap" and he would do it all at home- would be £30 .. all in- wheels off wheels on balanced new valvesetc.. and he can call tommorrow..

what you think>????

The place near me won't touch bikes but will happily lend anybody the tools to take the wheels off and put them back on.
