Topic: tires, where to buy, welding shop around Delft

[member]

Just found this website, very interesting to find like minded people in Holland. I will be coming back to Nederland to pick up my F650 Dakar for another trip thru Europe. I need to get some new tires. The last ones I used were Mefo explorer 90/90/21 and 130/80/17. They lasted a trip to Uzbekistan and another trip to Armenia, so I have been happy with them. Where do you buy your tires  in the Rotterdam - Amsterdam area at good prices, preferably Mefos or Heidenaus again.
I will also need a welding shop to weld up a hole in my exhaust and some aluminum pieces that cracked. Anybdoy know a show around Delft that can help with a small job like that?
Excuse my English, you can answer in Dutch. I can read it just fine, my Dutch writing has gotten really bad over the years
Thanks Karst

The best metal magician in that area is HotRod Welding / Erik Bok, located in Zwaanshoek. Ask Walter Colebatch for example
He might be able to help you with the tires also, but I suggest that you contact him and discuss the options. I think he is still on holiday at the moment, so an answer might take a couple of days.

We also have a forum member who will weld aluminium for a small price. You can send him a pm. He lives a bit above Amsterdam. You can also try our partner Rally Adventure Shop for the Mefo tires, maybe you can arrange that they will send the tires to Sanne....

Thanks for all your responses. I had send earlier an email to Alexander at adventure workshop but never received an answer. I had bought tires from him before two years ago. At that time he had send tires for me to Turkey. I send him another email yesterday and I did get an answer this time, immediately. They had a computer problem ands lost emails, that is why I did not get an answer on my first inquiry. With his reponse I am all set for tires.
When back in Holland I will go by the weldingshops mentioned and see who can help me.
Thanks again,
KP
