They Fitted the wrong tyre, what should I do?

Right, Ordered a replacement rear tyre for the bike, 130/70/18 and they fitted a 130/80/18

Using a bit of maths (I hope correctly) the original tyre height was 91mm, while this 104mm

How much is this likely to affect the handling of the bike, if there won't be much difference i'll just leave it.

Hi,

I suspect the ride height difference won't be as much as you'll notice. You may find it turns in a little quicker and is a little less stable in a straight line, but again I doubt you'll notice much difference at all.

Alternatively, take it back and demand what you asked for is fitted at no extra cost. All too often suppliers will take liberties like this in the hope the customer "doesn't bother"...

Thanks

Ah cool.

I'll just leave it, it's only till I have enough cash to get my 17" wheel up and running.

On the plus side, my track fairings arrived today! Pics to come :)
