Cheap Tire Mounting

[corndog67]

Agree with Kestrel. Why pay someone to do something so simple? Last time I checked, CG was $40 per wheel to mount and balance unless you bought it from them.

Because, I've busted hundreds of tires by hand, and i don't like having bloody knuckles any more. I don't do it by hand any more.

If you do it correctly, it's not a frustrating process at all. Worst part is you'll get your pants a little dirty pushing on the tire with your knees.

He's the only guy in Sonoma County I trust with my motorcycle for anything. He''s right off of Santa Rosa Avenue, just north of Piner Road.

That's true. I've done so many of them, that I have no problems doing it at all. But no matter what, I'll still scuff my knuckles on a sprocket, ruin a pair of pants, or just plain get filthy. So I don't do it anyourself more.

I just bought a Cycle Hill / No-Mar tire changer and got it last night, today I fabricated an adjustable hitch mount for it so I don't have to bolt it to the floor, it can be used on any truck or car with a 2" receiver hitch, it's a nice machine (manual) $295 to my door, since I only get 2000-2500 out of my tires this thing will pay for itself in no time

At least I'm not the only who feels this way.

You're definitely not the only one.

I don't look for "cheap"... I look for right.

Skilled workers should be paid.

I have all the equipment at home, if I need to do something...
But ... More than happy to get the work done, by the shop that is selling the new tires.

I do it right and get paid well. The Zin was hearty and paired well with Bridgestones.

That is the full exhaust system installation Cab. The tire mount Cab is a different vintage.

Hmm, how about homemade? I have 12 cases...(shoot, it's Merlot!).

Zoom cycles in Santa Clara will do it for free when you buy the tire(s) there. And they have pretty competitive prices.

Dudes in Santa Rosa and it's been handled.

In SF Moto tire Guy Robbie is the best you're going to get.
