Moped Tyres, Tubes and Rim Tape lowest prices

Lowest Prices vs quality Moped Tyres?

 

Many millions of mopeds were sold worldwide yet the variety of different tyres is vast. Mopeds were always designed as cheap economical modes of transport so tyres rare often overlooked. This said it is surprising how low moped tyre sales are in the UK. Probably due to large variety of wheels and the number of older vehicles that even when restored do not gain a new set of tyres!

At Classic Moped Spares there is a wide range of tyres to suit most budgets. You can also order online www.classicmopedspares.com and if you want inner tubes or rim tape to match your order will include these in the shipping cost.

You can buy a low price tyre with high quality . A good example is the Continental range of tyres. The Company has been manufacturing so many years and is known as a leading brand worldwide. They have so far kept tyre prices fixed for the past couple of years, but there is a price increase in the Uk from February 2015. Whilst stocks last at Classic Moped Spares the intention is to try not to increase the price, but there may be an increase fairly soon.

There are other brands of tyres that are for sale so please click above and have a look for what you need.

When choosing the tyre you need it is always best to buy from a reputable company and look out for the following:-

• Is the price reasonable. Please not sometimes cheapest is not always best.
• Are the tyres new or have they been in stock
• Is the size that you need correct. If not ask and help is available. Email classicmopedspares@hotmail.co.uk if you need help.
• Can you fit the tyre or will you need someone else to do it for you. Do you need tyre levers or are the ones you have suitable?
• Is the tyre fit for purpose?
• And remember tyres do perish, old tyres can be hazardous.

I guess tyres on a bike are a bit like a pair of shoes. They need to fit and they need to offer protection! Fortunately a bike only needs one good pair!

I still can't quite believe how many classic autocycles, mopeds, scooters and motorbikes have now been sold for customers by advertising free at www.classicmopedspares.com

Just this week a Velosolex was sold by a customer in Belgium who advertised it on classic moped spares completely free!

If you want to sell your bike direct to enthusiasts who search for classic vehicles then why not try to advertise if for free at Classic Moped Spares. I cant guarantee that it will sell, but what have you got to lose? If it doesn't sell you can always then place it on an auction site and see what happens. If it does sell for what you want then treat yourself to a meal out on the savings or what ever floats your boat!

Not everything will sell and I wont tell you that it will. For example a Puch that I have for sometime I am going to auction on ebay as I need to make some room and would like to see the bike used or in a worthy collection.

Common Restoration problems - incorrect after market parts!

1961 Vespa Douglas with Sidecar revival!

Finally after much frustration and hair loss the 1961 Vespa Douglas Scooter and Sidecar restoration problem looks like it has been resolved. This vehicle was bought about 5 years ago and since has had a complete strip down and rebuild. A paint match close to the original was used and professional respray done. The engine has also been fully rebuilt using original parts.

This scooter is almost completely original. It was taken for an MOT in 2013 and despite all the hard work failed on one issue the front headset having too much play in the frame. This was removed and another new headset bought from a reputable scooter parts supplier. Unfortunately there was still too much play meaning that it looked like the scooter may need some welding or even cutting and a new front frame piece fitting. After much further trial and error it was found that the problem was that the after market headset race was incorrect. I had been supplied a race headset undersized which was why it was spinning in the frame and causing unnecessary play.

This highlights a key problem faced by restorers today. Many original parts are just not available any more as companies close down or run out stock and much of the knowledge is also disappearing as many friends in the industry are no longer with us. Any doubts just check, check and check again the parts you buy. The internet also now provides many resources such as forums and you tube videos where support is available. If you know of problem tell the supplier, I would rather know of an issue so that I can put it right.

The simplest of problems has kept this bike off the road too long and it wont be beat! Such a pretty thing this should be used:-

Please keep an eye on my blog as once the scooter side car combination assembly has been fitted and this is back on the road, I am sure there will be some interesting stories to tell!
