My bike failed its MOT yesterday for the tyres. Thought the back tyre was quite close to the limit but I didn't realise that the front had a bald patch on it and nearly to canvas!!!! Anyway have ordered some tyres but can't remember where we had a deal to get them fitted near Newton Abbot/Exeter? Anybody able to let me know?

You could try Ray at Teign Tyres in behind Gormans or AMS beside National Tyres in Newton Abbot, CMS, Pro-Tyre or BikeWorx in Exeter ..... such choices, who's lucky fella

With regards to tire fitting is it easy to do with a bead breaker etc or something better left to he professionals?

I'm not so worried about getting the tyres on and off as I am about balancing. How accurate does it need to be?

Paying £50 to get mine done today as my paddock stand is knackered so couldn't take the wheels off.

Thx for that Moose, had a text from Si as well so will give Ray at Teign tyres a call when the new tyres arrive. Hopefully be here by Friday.

Woohoo, tyres arrived this afternoon, wheels are off the bike ready for fitting tomorrow! !!!

get it all sorted by Ray ?

Had to go to AMS in the end as teign were closed when I needed them.
