Tyre fitting while you wait?

Post by Jug »

Just loose wheels btw.

Are there any shops around the east that do that? (I'm in Chard btw).
Should I risk it with the local car tyre fitters?

I have used a local'ish motorcycle shop before, and although their fitting is good (no damage) and is well priced, they like you just to leave your wheels with them and they'll do them when they can... this practise makes me nervous. I'd really prefer my wheels stay close to me. :mrgreen:

I've not used Lewis yet as they always seem to be very busy, tried twice for MOT and it's always been 2 weeks.
I will ask them though.

Oh it's a thing of beauty...
My new shoes have finally arrived.

A nice pair of T30 Evo's for the SD and an A10 front for my Strom.

Bought from Pneus Online as they were actually cheaper on a pair than Oponeo (though I did buy A10 from Oponeo).
