Looking for somewhere highly recommended for tyre fitting within the area shown on the attached map please. Somewhere/someone that goes the extra mile to ensure the shiny wheels from my beloved beast (lol) remain pristine ;-)

I live in Weston Super Mud where there's not much choice and the place I've used the last few times managed to damage the rims of the rear wheel of my last bike so not in a hurry to go there now X(
Wheel removal na as I always take in loose wheels.

The Super Duke has eaten the oem rear in 3600 miles

Thanks

Riders at Bridgwater will do a good job, not the cheapest but they are used to dealing with expensive shiny wheels.
Normally about £20 to fit to a loose wheel I think

What tyres are you favouring?

Me....broken old rider who remains a bit nervy sometimes after major crash some years back.

Fitting to a loose wheel for £20 is fairly cheap. It is 2022, not 1962 :mrgreen:

You could try:-
"Somerset Superbikes"
Unit 1 , Easton Engineering Works,, Easton near Wells, Wells BA5 1EH

I'm running the Bridgestone 22 that it came with grips well in the wet as well,so more than good enough for me as one of the grey one's 😉😉
