    I got a screw through my back tyre so need to replace it.
    Heres the stupid question - should I relace the front too? its in decent nick and only done c1000 km.
    Stock tyres are maxxis rouler, was looking at conti GP4000s.
    any advice/opinion greatly appreciated.
    also any decent websites out there for cycling gear etc.

    Thanks,
    The Show

    You don't need to replace it,
    If it's just a screw sized hole , it may not need any repair.
    At worst, if it's a big hole, a tyre patch should suffice. Usually included in decent repair kits,

    Before using web, have you thought of calling into a local bike shop, good to support local if you can.
    Loads of websites,
    Some Common ones are wiggle, chain reaction cycles, Merlin, pbk, swim cycle run(irish site),
    bike24,
    Others here would be able to recommend other sites

    There is no need to change the front tyre as well. No question is stupid if you want to know the answer!
