Hi all,


Just wondering if anyone out there with a Mountain Buggy could recommend a shop or site to get new tyres from? I have a pre-2010 urban double and am just wondering if I really need to fork out for the ones on the MB website, but am nervous about which other sellers to go for!


Also, what type of tyre would you recommend - are the chunky, off-road ones impractical for the city or is it best to get them for the times when they are needed?


Thanks!

Might be worth talking to BC Bikes by Goose Green - no idea if they can get right size tyres, but they are very local and handy?


I've only got standard tyres on my Mountain Buggy, not sure you need the extra heavy duty ones unless you're going to do some 'serious' off roading (we've done walks in Derbyshire etc. OK, only got tough when we did paths over a moor that had some seriously big cracks/mega rocks etc......) Should have taken the back pack really for that walk - you live and learn!

Thanks so much FatherJack and Molly! Really glad to hear I should be able to support local businesses when getting them, instead of the usual online retailers. Will go for the standard ones as I don't think I'll be doing anything more than a bit of off-road!

    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
