That's what I thought

Mark at Ride In in Reading charges £20 per wheel for tyres fitted he didn't supply. Or if you buy the tyres from him I think it's £5 per wheel. At least that's what he charges me, but I'm special.

He always gives me very good prices, especially when I also was looking to buy them from other sources. He made it worth my while to keep going to him.
Don't fancy pretending my bike is yours for a weekend to get them fitted?
No?






































Didn't think so.. special one

Bring it up here and I'll fit 'em. Possibly very badly.

It would almost cost me as much in petrol getting to Scotland and back as it would to pay the extra to get them fitted here
But thanks for the (confidence inspiring) offer

I've been rebuilding my SV so it looks kinda like yours
Mine is however in a shed, and hopefully not a shed..

My rule- never make an offer you think people might take up.
