New Tires

[oswaldters]

I put my tiers on my self

Damn Blue, you are hardcore!

I would be afraid to ride at speed on tires I mounted myself!

[wordslinger]

I put my tiers on my self

..wow..i reckon you IS da MAN!!!

..i have not the patience...

[Rianna]

I put my tiers on my self get a set of tire spoons and dish soap and its not that hard just alot of elbow power.

...i have not the elbow power...

[oswaldters]

The question is whether I'll have the negotiating power to talk these guys down from charging that much for mounting the tires.

Seems waaay to high.

[wordslinger]

..i would expect to pay 30-50 bucks normally..

..i'm getting a deal at this shop, from what i've read on here...

I payed 35 for my tires and my time to put on so I think I did ok .the bad thing about putting on your self is the little paint you might take of the rim.

[Rianna]

You did real good, blue! That's awesome.

  Its not to hard if you got the tire irons,used to have to do it on the trail. But the vyper strykes? I got the front on no problem the rear would not seet so cost me $5 to let a pro do it.(more air pressure than i could create at home (damn tubless tires  )

[sidthesloth]

I paid $75 for a rear tyre, fitted it myself, though next time I will get rim protectors.

THEY DO MAKE PLATIC COVERS FOR THE TIRE SPOONS SO YOU DON'T MESS THE RIMS UP

[oswaldters]

I don't know that I'll be putting the tires on myself - but they've been ordered.

We'll see how long they take to ship.

[sidthesloth]

$65 for half hours work? Go on, give it a go, think what you could buy with that $65.

[wordslinger]

..if i can get it changed for 25...it's waaay worth it for me..

..i'll learn how to later!!

 

[oswaldters]

I agree that the $65 is way too much.  I'll see what I can work - no huge rush.

Besides, I can have hours of fun finding various methods to carry the tires to the shop while I ride.

..lol..bungee-bungee!!
