TYRE FITTERS FOR ELR

#1 PostAuthor: alfacity » Mon Apr 19, 2021 2:17 pm

I had a new tyre fitted 18 months ago but have an issue with air slowly leaking, its either valve or corrosion inside alloy wheel. Who do you recommend to resolve this please, I have no centre stand so likely to need someone who can hoist up rear wheel.
In fact on top of this could do with some kind of paddock stand to get rear wheel in the air again any advice. Thanks

Plenty of paddock stands out there that fit or get an Abba stand. I also use a 1Jac lift, which lifts both wheels off the ground.
Any decent bike shop should be able to change/check the tyre for you.

I use a car jack under engine and two axle stands to sides to support frame (with cardboard taped to protect frame) when dropping rear wheel - Or get a paddock stand. But as previously said any good workshop should be able to drop wheel out and check.
