[QUOTE="Matty, post: 120386, member: 1339"] Was worried that my brake shoes might get lost in the Post and that 2 replacement pairs might cost in excess of £600 though I valued them at this based on another quote for the Post insurance out, but this does not cover the return. This latest offering looks as if I can buy nice new shoes for about £80 a pair plus linings which is a much better deal for around £200. I do not expect mine will get lost but I now feel comfortable that the bike will not be off the road for ages while any loss situation is being sorted out. However I can not use it much while the lock down is in operation - only for collecting food or medication!!
