Been to both. Both great. I ride past Burwin on the way to work. My clutch cable snapped literally just outside there shop. They ordered one in for the next day had to leave the bike there. Very welcoming and helpful. I usually go to essential for tires but recently used FWR because they quoted me cheaper prices.

If I was you just give them both a call and ask how much, they all have good customer service in my eyes.

I would NEVER use FWR based on my one and only experience and with Essential’s LB discount they weren’t cheaper either.

I must of been lucky for once then? But yes I agree essential rubber are great. I’ve always used them in the past apart from two occasions. One when my clutch cable snapped in front of Burwin and 2nd one was a few months back when I went to FWR instead.

PS: what’s the LB discount about!? Does every bike place accept it I think I’ll start walking into places and mention im from LB haha.

seems like some think it does!? :w00t:

You think if I go into a shop and mention i’m from LB I can push myself to the front of the queue? I guess they’ll feed me grapes and fan me with large leaves too :laugh:

Yeah I get the don’t get cheapest idea but tbh as everyone said. Not much difference between these 2. Plus Burwin is closer for me and on the way to work

Ah essential rubber, have annoyed me a few times so stopped going. Tyres that were ordered and then telephoned to confirm in stock. Turned up but the tyres weren’t there. The final straw was an MOT fail on my ex’s bike that were not MOT fails alleged warped discs, so not bothered since.

Yes it still pisses me off.
