Dave B:
Visited Bridgewater yesterday to have my 2012  Nomad serviced for the first time by SJS. The bike has run without issue for 6 years! Would like to thank Dave and the team for the care and professionalism that they lashished on my pride and joy.

bikerta:
Glad all went well for your service. Got my Sherpa booked in on Friday for service after talking to a very friendly and helpful lady on telephone. Will need new brakes and tyres too I think. Tread on tyres is fine, but I  have a few splits on the side walls so will renew just to be on the safe side. They are Schwalbe Duremes and I have been very pleased with them so far. They have done well over 6,000 miles and no punctures!!   

I was worried about spending the money on a new set when I could buy cheaper, but then stopped and realised that my bike is my main transport for commuting to work and it would cost me a whole lot more to service and put new brakes and tyres on a car. 

Dave B:
Dureme are no longer available. Although I  to liked them i didn't have  much luck, hit a large piece of glass which tore a hole out of one of them. Currently running mondials which are great, will  replace them  like for like. SJS are very competitive on their tyres. Cheap tyres aren't worth the hassle.  Buy cheap,  buy twice

ridgeback63:
I think SJS still have a stock of Duremes
