Deane's in Beckenham has got quite a large BMX section, I know it's Kent, but not far from the top of Surrey

I've used both of these and they're spot-on

There's another in New Milton, but I've never been there and forgot what it's called

Thanks everyone

I need someone to look at my rear wheel as I was trying to get it lined up and I accidently undone the bolts that go into the spindle and some of the ball bearings fell out. I think i got them all put back but its not running as smooth as it should.

Halfords sell the bearings separately, there in yellow packs.

Thanks Muttley, thats good to know. My only problem is I am not really sure what I am doing. I know on each end of the spindal there are two nuts which screw down onto the ball bearings and into the hub but I have no idea how tight etc or how it should go. So I kind of feel it might be worth taking it to an expert, especially as I need my bike for the Creation Novice night in two weeks.
