Re: bike chain help required

i havent a clue speedy, the bloke that used to own Leeds House at Antley only lives on the next street (he used to sell bikes) but as of this week he's decided to stop doing the kids bikes up, saying that he used to charge £5 just to change an innertube, just my luck hey...i live near the redcap so i'm kind of in the middle of Accy and Blackburn so unless Richard is off work i cant really take it anywhere and Reece has his mate staying who has brought his BMX over so they want to go out and play on them

Re: bike chain help required

you can just buy the chain from halfords and do it yourself its pretty easy to fit one, otherwise try sports world or sports/socer whatever the one in bburn is called they sometimes have bike chains but remember to take your old one in for size
