I got charged today - £200 for a Metzler Z8 rear.

   That's bloody horrendous.

That's about the going rate for them down here in SA as well ( +- R 2 300.00 ). Set of PR3's about R 3 100.00.

Must add, the Z8 not popular down here.

Neil, was the tyre fitted here in the Lakes  ?

[Winston Smith]

Should be about £260 a pair, £300 fitted, the rear should be about £150 - ish plus fitting

[Rusty]

I'm gobsmacked, John isn't known for ripping folk off .....well I never 

If I'd known Neil I would have recommended Devonshire Service Station in Ulverston, but that's academic now the job has been done 

[SirToU]

Well, after tomorrow, I will know whether I'll be living in Ulverston!  :-)

Looks like a great town.  :-)

Neil

Ps.  Perhaps he didn't intentially rip me off.  It didn't seem that way, but I wasn't going to argue with him over price.  :-(

He is actually a good 'old fashioned' engineer and a really nice bloke too, and I don't think he would intentionally rip you off, however that price is  on the high side

[SirToU]

So fingers crossed... I'll be moving into a house in Barrow, sometime between 10th and 18th May.  On 11th May - Will be doing a motogymkhana Demo at the Cumbria bike show!   :-)

Neil, its back on again then is it, the Cumbria bike show? I saw you there a couple of years ago but last year I think the show got pulled for whatever reason..
