Jay - the bike tyre side of the business has changed as Phil the tyreman left in October. Bob is now running it..

Don't know why they charged you that much, I only get charged 20 quid for a pair on loose wheels...

Dave

Any ideas where Phil has gone ?

I got my last set changed at Bob Grant's place at Knockhill, the young lad there does it as a side line for pocket money.

5 pound a wheel not bad eh!

another toptip is to leave the tyre inside in the heat for about an hour to soften the rubber to make it easier to fit

Goods tips lads + BHP for you two.

Just ordered some bearings for my balancer. I'll knock that up this week. B-)

This is a good vid if you are new to tyre changing by hand
