ATTENTION!! Due to the situation in the Ukraine, we're having problems maintaining tyre stocks, and we're faced with rapidly increasing prices—which we're not happy about passing on. So no more orders until further notice. Sorry, but we have to face certain realities.

Classic bike tyres | Avon | Continental | Dunlop | Metzeler | Michelin


Continental tyres are not our strong suit. Yes, we've had a few fitted to our various BMW airhead Boxers and a Moto Guzzi, and we can't recall any problems at all with them—although some riders report "white lining" issues with some of the older Continental designs. Then again, BMW airhead Boxers are in any case notorious for slightly quirky handling at high speeds. But experimenting a little with front and rear combinations, and keeping the tyre pressures just so, can make a big difference. And getting the very best riding experience from any motorcycle often means experimenting a little—not least with your riding technique and habits. Are we right?

 

 

These Continental Classic Attack radial tyres have earned a good reputation for grip, feel and longevity. But we have to confess that we've had little direct experience with them. So we can't influence your buying decision except to say that these are good value and have sold in their tens of thousands to satisfied riders around the world.

 

Just don't get too carried away with the experimentation. Increment by increment is the key. Buy with confidence.

WARNING!!!

Top advice before buying motorcycle tyres


 

How do you know that the tyres you're buying are safe to use? That's a tricky one because tyres have to not only be correctly manufactured, but they also have to be properly stored prior to sale and use. And not all stored tyres are fit for purpose.

 

We're not just talking about the usual knock-off rubber coming in from the Far East and flogged on the 'net. We're talking about tyres that have, perhaps, been legitimately bought from wholesalers, but then badly stored.

 

That can mean exposure to too much sunlight. Incorrect racking. Over-long storage. Incorrect temperature control in storage. Chemical damage when in storage. And there are many other potential hazards including delamination, cracking and general decay. Therefore you need to feel confident in the people you're buying from—and that means staying clear of the dodgy dealers and suchlike on the internet.

 

If you buy cheap—or too cheap—you could be buying a lot of trouble. At Sump, we deal only with a reputable wholesaler. We set a fair price and we stay competitive—with everyone but the dodgy dealers. So either trust us with your business, or don't.

 

We're constantly looking out for tyre trouble so that you don't have to ride straight into it. And if you've got any doubts or qualms, we want to hear about it asap.

 

Okay?

Puncture repair kit

Essential for the road

£29.95


The first time you have to use this kit, it will convert you to Christianity—or maybe some other religion. Either way, you'll be grateful to someone. Or something. Of course, this won't suit classic bikes with inner tubes. It's purely a tubeless kit—and pretty much everyone with tubeless tyres should have one. What's that? You've already signed up to a breakdown service? Well great. The last time we waited for a recovery van to show up, it took three hours.

Click on the image above, or fish around for a link, and you'll get a bite from our Puncture Repair Kit Buying Page. We wouldn't leave home without one. You shouldn't either.


 

 

Bowden cable repair kit

Essential for the road

£6.95


Anyone can suffer a snapped cable on their motorcycle. It happens. But only the guys and girls who look ahead are able to fix the problem for themselves at the roadside. We've been there and done it. Many times. Now it's your turn. So hit the link above. Swoosh over to our buying page. Do the business. Then get on with the rest of your life. Whatever else goes wrong for you and your bike, snapped motorcycle cables won't ever again give you undue cause for concern. Okay?

 


 

 

WAITING FOR YOUR SUMP ORDER?

 

If you've recently bought a Sump T-shirt, a book, a motorcycle lock, a framed print, a tin wall sign or whatever, and if your order hasn't arrived, you might want to check your email spam box. We regularly find that customers have failed to give the information we need to process the order (size, full address, style, colour, etc).

 

If there's a query, we make three attempts to contact buyers, and if we get no reply, we cancel the order and return any payment. But that can lead to disappointment, especially if the item is a gift for someone. So if you haven't heard from us within 24 hours of placing your order, please check your spam box, or contact us again.
