Do you take the whole bike in and have them fitted or do you take just
the wheels in, out of interest?

I just took the wheel in, as it's total piece of piss to take the rear off a
CX500. Fitting and balancing, £9.


How much do they charge for BT45s?

They never sold me the tyre, a friend up in Brum got it for me. £45 (Well,
£48ish apparently, but he didnt begrudge me the £3 with me having no change
to pay him for it..) for a 110/90-18 rear.

What size(s) do you need? I can ask him for a price, but probably wouldn't
work out very cheap once you've took postage to your part of the world into
account.

Thanks, that's okay though. I was wondering if taking Mr. Bandit into
National would work out cheaper than taking it into a Bike Shoppe to
have the tyres changed.
