    You’re full of it Bob. :P

    You get your parts from City Coast Motorcycles in Wollongong, they get delivered for free and fitted for free, you should be pleased about that :laugh: :laugh:

    I got a quote from Australia Post to send my rear wheel to a Californian bike shop. Return freight would be $265.30. You can send it cheaper but that takes up to 8 weeks. Using the current exchange rate I found a Calfornian bike shop that fits tubes for free if you buy a tyre but charge $19.35 (aus ) to fit otherwise. They stock Bridgestone UHD tubes for $34.95 (aus ).
    Total cost is $319.60 with a turn around of about three weeks. ;)

    :(

    Thats a little bit ignorant Scotty

    The fact that he was left with distaste in his mouth from going localy (rightly or wrongly) for a specific service

    Will affect where he/she will shop next time ……..there is a bigger picture

    You will never please everyone

    I was once told that in Business 30% of the public will use you because they like your service or you
    30 % Don’t won’t an will never agree with anything you provide or suggest
    30 % don’t give a shit and will shop wherever convenient or cheapest
    and finally 10 % are just Dickheads :unsure:

    I realise or are assuming that this is a site sponsor and this will tick some people off and they feel compelled to defend them

    However to the original posters?? credit no specifics were ever mentioned (that i saw)
    To the supposed shop in questions credit they have come to the party and are willing to address the issue

    And relating to the other issue of shopping o/s , because we live in such an affluent way and expect our standard of living to continually increase , we are shitting in our own nest
    and last time i checked we live on a pretty big island.
    Since everyone wants to be paid top dollar for doing fucall everything has to come from O/s including the bloke who has to make your $3 pies :huh:

    I’m sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience, if it was our shop than I’m disappointed and can only think there has been poor communication on our behalf (they supplied a uh without telling u?), wrongly labelled part or human error. Either way I’m more than happy to sort it out for you with a refund or credit.
    We ain’t planning on retiring early on tube fitting it must have been a stuff up.
    Phone me tomorrow on 02 65836655 Rory Rock and ill fix up the price difference.

    We sell the following hd tubes:-
    – Kenda tuff tube hd $30
    – Bridgestone mh $35
    – Bridgestone uh $45
    Prices from memory for 18″.
    I will double check with my service dept but I thought we where charging $20 to fit.
    If you had mentioned you where obt the guys have been told to knock 10% off parts.

    Ps. Carton of beer to change a tube, unless you are buying them overseas as well that would be costing you about $35-40 per tube?

    well done

    there was nothing mentined aboput any specifics , and you didnt have to coff up ……………………….if it was ur shop of course???

    i dont shop there and maybe never will but
    U get 9.8/10 so far ……..nobodys perfect:)

    I’ve thought about using them ………………………………..

    Then go for a ride with people that use them and decide not

    I hate changing tyres , but can do

    all that grease and crap in a mousse …..faaark me thats bullshit

    who wants to do that shit especially on the trail and don’t say it doesn’t happen (failure )
    seems to me that if u only ride really slow stuff or tricky stuff maybe ok

    But if you ride in summer or anything with speed they can’t handle heat and fark up and then stuff ur day

    I’m probably wrong but ………..care factor is minimal 😆

    And as for tube guys taking the easy line Galey what sorta bullshit is that
    you are always in the road and we have to take the shit line to get around you , that goes for most KTMs and any 250 as well

    There have i bought up every controversial topic yet :laugh:
