    Hi Poppy, yes that's the way to do it. Either off your computer or off a photo-hosting site such as Photobucket.

    Ya its on the upload a file bit, but its the wife that is the techy one in our family I just stumble my way round. Give it a while and I feel sure you will get all this info from a whole host of people. But perhaps it might be an idea for Rob or someone to put in a basic instruction manaul on how the correct format should be completed.

    The original Metzelers on my SE will need replacing soon and I will definately going for the Avons - had them on the T100 and they were much better.

    Just an update from my original post here. My wife did indeed get a pair of AM26's and pronounced herself happy with them. Mind you, she was happy with the Metzeler's too!

    I also got the Avons & just come back from Northern Spain & they handled really well.
    With the scorching temps & weaving around the Pyrenees they were perfect, lots of grip on those hair pins...yeah!!

    Had the Bonnie MOTd a couple of weeks ago. Passed with no issues other than my tyres are at the legal minimum.

    I've just ordered a set of Avon AM26 from Tyre Tec for £135 delivered.

    Had a word with my local bike shop and he'll fit and balance them for £10 a wheel if I take them off the bike or £20 a wheel if I leave them on the bike.
