Guest Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 My local bike shop only charged £50 to swop over some tyres for me m8 onto some powdercoated rims i had done,that price included them having my bike,removing wheels,changing discs over,bearings fitted(i supplied new ones),wheels balanced and new valve.The wheels defo need balancing m8 so i would just take ur tyres and bike down to a local shop and ask for a price to do the work for ya Not worth the hassle of trying to do the job ur self 8) Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 cheers lee. I will do some legwork later then, see if i can find a decent shop. I cant remember the last time i had any tyres fitted, even on my car. always swapping cars though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 i fitted some tyres last week myself all i can say is its more hassle then its worth took 2 hours to do if you can get the front and back wheels off at the same time go get them fitted at a shop only costs between 5 and 15 quid a wheel plus they get rid of the old tyres too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelwood1 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Pity you weren't down near Gloucester. A mate of mine in the tyre business will fit and balance tyres for a tenner.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
