Drury Performance Centre - 'kin awesome!!

[Sparkz]

After finding my rear hoop was not going to make it through the old WOF, I got a quote for a new BT016 from a well known bike shop in Auckland. $379 plus a wad of cash to fit it. It would be a smaller wad of cash if I bring just the wheel in, but who has the time.

Gave Drury Performance Centre (just off the motorway at the Drury offramp)a call, and they do the same tyre for $335. Oh, and fitting is free, wheel or bike!! He ended up only charging $325 anyway.

So, I go in and fuss over the dude pulling my wheel off, but he is more careful than I am with it. Torqued the axle nut and all, wiped the rim down after to clean it up and overall did a fantastic job.

So, all up it was nearly $100 cheaper and the guys are fast and friendly. I would go back just for the price, but that kind of service makes you almost look forward to coughing for new rubber. I will be back there!

GOOD ON YA, FULLAS!

could be needing new rubber any day

Nice one, is that the place just before the roundabout heading into Drury on the left? Saw a few bikes around there last week. Might have to head there to get a quote towards the end of summer.

Yeah, left at the Drury offramp and they are on the left just before the roundabout. They always have a few bikes out front.

I've been thinking of throwing my business down that way since I'm a soufsider! Glad to hear of your experience, will give them a go on my next change of rubber!

Visited them early winter to price a Pirelli Rosso for me on the '04.
Mike seemed to know his shit (i only remeber his name cause he shares it with a mate of mine), his price was good, and keen to help.

Unfortunately the bike didn't last with me long enough to take advantage of his service.

So yeah, just a +1 on giving them a go.

Mike is a legend. Ex cycletreads.

Yeah, ya should. Mike's great, he put the dunlops on Lucy for me. Does a great job. He also helped me change my fork seals, for a REALLY good price (seeing as I'd already f***'d them up).

They're branching out of just tyres into the mechanical side too.

The owner, Anthony, is a big part of the Redeemed MC, really great guy to talk to.
