tyre prices have shot up in the last month and a half !, my local bike shop has increased the cost of a Bridgestone BT 45 from £65 to a whopping £80, with a 'good-will'' reduction of a fiver, £75, by my rough calc' thats nearly a 25% increase in just short of 2 months, a 'shares' opportunity, or a rip off ? :mellow:

I kid you not Jim, in my last job in an agricultural engineering firm I saw one of the fitters put his bike on the centre stand, start it up and put it into first gear and while the rear wheel was spinning round he used an angle grinder to deepen the centre groove.

Hi Mike

I've seen that too.... along with 'adjustments' to the side tread but they are beyond it !
