Lump in rear tyre

Grr, riding home my rear wheel started vibrating. When I got home (not far) I looked and I've got a big old lump on my rear tyre! Must have hit a pothole or something I guess?

Rang my Honda garage and a new rear tyre is 75quid fitted, only problem is they can't do it until Saturday morning and I use it everyday. Obviously I can't with this so does anyone know any chains that do bike tyres etc? Or anywhere in Rochdale?

Bike is CBF125 with a contigo so probably harder to find I guess?

Cheers

Managed to get it booked in to an indy on Friday morning at 9am so a bit better. Friday evening traffic in a car is not fun

£77 fitted for a ContiGo! in 100/90 - 17. I imagine they're a bit longer to change than car tyres.

It's only about 1/2 a mile away so I'll nurse it down there.

Heh, no skidding no, it's a drum rear so pretty impossible to lock

So having a nightmare with this. Limped the bike down to the garage, about 1/2mile away, and the gimp hasn't been able to order me a tyre as there's no stock at any supplier. Didn't ring me as he didn't write down my number :rolleyes:

So ordered one myself which is coming from Germany via tyreleader and will get someone to fit. So current stuck in the car cursing traffic
