CORRIEBOY Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Went for a run on bike the other day and soon realized something was wrong and after a quick look noticed rear tyre pressure was low (12psi ) and there was a small dent in the rim does any one know if you can get these repaired ? in Scotland if possible. Had a quick look on ebay and found someone selling wheel with disc and sprocket fitted and brand new tyre Bridgestone battleaxe bt021 all for £107 delivered, was needing a new tyre anyway ! Also anyone use bt021 on R6 ? or sports bike are they any good ? i usually use BT014s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORRIEBOY Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 hi correiboy,i had a dink on a two day old car alloy,i was devastated,i took it too a place near me ,very good repair ,but cost £86.so as above i would go with the wheel tyre disc option,eaven though a repair is possible. thanks have bought wheel off ebay got it with best offer of £90 he wanted £125 plus delivery so i think its a bargain still interested to hear from someone who has run BT021 battleax on a sports bike last tyres where BT014s and they grip really well but dont last very long back was less than 1500 miles from new to bald. Thanks for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
