halford's are stocking some bike stuff but not a great deal. i think they are testing the market. best bet is go to your tryed and trusted bike shop.

Thumbs Down I find Halfords expensive, you would think that for such a big company they would have some good deals.

Both of the local Halford's I've been to stock what looks like a decent selection, but they are quite large ones.

Yes they do stock spark plugs.
£5.45 each.
I know i should go to an independant bike shop, but they are so expensive. Vicious circle i suppose.

What brand is best for bikes? Are the iridium and platinum plugs worth the money?

Not really, just change your spark plugs with your oil intervals and you'll never get trouble with them.

NGK seem to be the leading spark plug make for bikes.

halfords are generally a scam compared to decent independent bike shops, or decent motor factors for other stuff. Hence why most of my mates have dubbed it "hellfrauds". I agree its handy on a sunday afternoon though. Smile
