ive used BC and Oponeo, but now just buy from ebay. The side by side competition keeps the prices as low as possible. I am a cheapskate though, and just ordered a front for my NC700X. A Maxxis ST for £40 delivered. Riding on a shoestring....

Sharpie it's literally about knowing what you want then doing the search online. Deals will vary on a daily basis all over the place.
Be aware Oponeo normally have two prices, if you need them asap you pay the higher price, but if you can wait, which will still only be around 5-7 days then you can pay the power price. They just get them in from Germany i think. Their main UK depot is a few miles from me in North Harrow, although they're still mail order only.
I've also used Sticky Stuff before as well, it's just a matter of shopping about.


Ordered a tyre once from North West Scotland at around 4.30pm one day, and it was at work in London when i got there the next day. Still never understood how they did that but i was ever so impressed?  :lol

I just used ProTyres in Portsmouth for cage but they do bikes as well!
not sure on price but service I had from them has been great!
whilst I was waiting bloke brought in rear wheel (from a HD) & left it with them to replace an inner tube and plug a puncture, didn't hear how much TBH
It ain't what you ride, it's who you ride with!!!

Ok I have been and got them attached photos to prove it.
Bit annoying that it was an extra £6.50 per wheel for valves  :\

After a bit of perseverance i found out that my mechanic Loctited my rear tyre dust cap on?
What's all that about, i nearly twisted the valve off with a pair of pliers trying to get the cap off.
