    Ok, need a new pair of tyres again.
    Where do people recommend in the Swindon area? Preferably somewhere that stocks Conti's.

    Bugger, tyres are expensive round here.
    In aber, I managed to get a pair of Road Attacks fitted for £147 all in. Best I can get for them here is £167 and they need to be ordered.
    Bike Treads want £205 for a pair of Z6s!

    I'd go to pro-tyre but I'm not convinced that the slow puncture I've got will be ok for that distance. Looks like I'll be going to Steve.

    firstly moaned like hell cause i brought 2 bikes in and 4 sets of wheels and supplied the tyres myself. (1 set of dry ytres per bike and 1 set of wets per bike)

    told me I'd have to come back in the afternoon to collect, but i'd rung ahead and was told it wouldn't be a problem as they could do it whilst I waited.

    the old guy was swearing at me when I explained this and told them I had to get to Cadwell before lunchtime

    had me wait for over an hour for the tyres to be changed

    they put the front tyres on the wrong way round then got ****ty (more swearing) with me when I pointed this out and told me I should have told them (huh) and i had to wait another 1/2 hour

    and then, to add insult to injury charged me 20 quid per wheel, FFS I can get them done for a fiver per wheel at the track so it cost me 160 quid for 8 tyre changes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUCH
