    Are you looking for a physical shop or an online retailer? If you want an online shop then try emaling http://www.centralsports.co.uk/ and asking them to order some for you. If you want a physical shop then any small sports retailer (note: not people like JJB!!) should be able to order them in for you.

    I've tried at a few shops, but none of them seem able to get a hold of this string; I was simply told that BG-85, like the MP100, is discontinued. At ths rate, Yonex UK will have discontinued every piece of top-end equipment soon. Emailed Central Sports; waiting on reply. I know that Badmintonalley.com and Belgro.com carry these strings, but I think the delivery cost might be quite expensive.

    If u end up shopping from a US online shop, try www.hiquasports.com Seems they have good price for strings, but not sure if they do international shipping or not.

    Plus, last time, they messed up color for my BG65, lucky I don't care that too much.

    Cheers, LB. Their prices are very reasonable - $7/set. I will send them an email to find out how much the delivery will be. Incidentally, do you know how many restrings I can get out of a 33ft pack?

    I can help you to purchase BG-85 in Hong Kong


    the cost is about $30 per pack, (10 m)


    The postage to UK is very reasonable, it only cost a few pounds.. (maybe less) depends on how many you wants

    Exchange rate is 1 pounds (GBP) to hk$11.5
    so, each pack is 2.60 pounds!

    I got an UK bank Account, so u can pay it in and I will send it to you to UK asap
    thanks
