Smashing ride out this morning around the Derbyshire Dales, stopped for breakfast and coffee, then rode home. Nipped out in the pm down to daughters stable yard, only to feel the rear slide out left and right from under me. Stopped and found the tyre had split.
Is your phone set to Yeti/Loch Ness Monster Mode, as those photos quite obviously aren't right are they?
The tyre was Z rated, Bstone BT023, less than a thousand miles on it, most at Donington Park. I rarely break speed limits on the roadsThe photos are fine on the phone/pc, I suspect its Photobucket trying to get money from my pockets for being over their storage limit. The files are too large to copy straight in from the pc.Looking around for a new tyre last night, up pops a box asking me if I want to insure the new tyre, I think it was about £3.50 for a year. Does anyone bother with that?

Does anyone bother with that?Cant say I've ever heard of tyre insurance? Depends what it covers 🤔 To be honest you have to ask yourself how many times its happened to you in the years you've been riding? I personally have never even had a puncture so I wouldnt really botherAs for tyres www.bikespeeduk.com have some good end of season deals

Does anyone bother with that?IF the small print is all good then surely £3.50 a year is an amazing deal isn't it? Does sound too good to be true though.I only saw the offer on the Tyreleader site, no others. On the face of it, it does seem to be a reasonable deal, but i never read the small print as the site wasnt working correclty, so I bought a new BT023 from elsewhereI always get my tyres from Oponeo now, then get my mechanic to fit them on a loose wheel that i've removed and i always save money compared to riding into a shop and buying/fitting on site.There's normally 2 prices, the cheaper one takes 2 or 3 days longer for delivery, but it'll still only be about a week or so before it gets to you.
