Oof that is expensive

Not really a LBS IMHO more of a bike shop for tourists

we'd charge £6 for that

Price of a 500ml bottle of water at Moto Services on M6 £1.79, the same bottle at local shop in a more populated area 79p. Google 'captive market' and you have your answer...

I doubt they supply the gun to put to your head to buy it....

traveled 150 mile or so plus a ferry trip, gears were giving me bother so yeah I paid and fitted it. thought it was a little steep though.

Found i already had a spare inner with me after i fitted it.

As for englandshire? Me? no chance

Parts in the hand are worth twice the price as parts at home i guess
