Daft question - wheel spacers and tyre changes.

Dear learned people,
I am taking the wheels from my CBR900 to National tyre tomorrow for a
tyre change. Will they need the axles and wheel spacers ?

 

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

How much do they charge for BT45s?

 

No, they don't. In fact, strip *everything* off your wheels that may
otherwise fall off and get lost. Everything that isn't bolted on -
and you may want to consider removing the discs too.

 

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.

 

I've removed the rear tyre before on the ER-5 and it went back on
okay.

Mind you, the rest of the bike went ping so that's probably not a good
reference.

 

Thanks Wessie. Spacers now labelled and on the kitchen worktop.
Wheels in boot.
Any probs with National at Northampton, I will post an update.

 

I got my tyres at www.fwr.co.uk Seem to be cheap. Free next day
delivery, no problems for me.
However, couldn't find BT45s when I looked.

Don't fit BT45s, buy Avon AV45 and 46 STs, like everyone else recommends
[1]. I can't make them let go and they last at least 10K miles on my
Bindit.

like Diablo Corsas" Bonwick.

Thanks. It's already got BT45's on and before swapping tyres after
I've rounded these off I was going to post here for suggestions
anyway.

 

Quite sticky on the barge. Not so sure footed in the wet though.
Probably about as good as an 020 as far as I can tell over the last 800
miles or so.
