Finally decided to ditch the Trailwings fitted to our 650GS. Any advice on other options? Currently going to go with Tourances are there any others worth looking at? Prefer a road biased tyre.

Yeah, two sets of wheels.ginger chris said:Brassmonkey man, do you have two sets of wheels, or do you wear out your rubber in a timely fashion? (did I spell fashion right?, or have I had a little too mucxcsh single malt?)

I've used the Witney branch. Very good service. They can do a ride in, ride out service at some branches. I was quite surprised when they got a book out to look up the torque settings. I never seen a torque wrench used in another tyre bay.
sillymoo said:Hi - thanks for that although there don't actually appear to be any branches in London - let alone North London -- I just checked the website -- perhaps I have miss read their map? Any more suggestions from anyone? Ta Wessie -- happy riding!
Moo!
