60$ per tire?

Post by blackhawkdmb » Fri Feb 06, 2004 7:42 pm

60$ to mount each tire. Does this sound reasonable? I am not sure about the amont of labor time for the entire job. If based on 60/per hour rate for labor, does this job come close to taking 2 hours? I just need a better guestimate than I can come up with. Thanks in advance.

That's highway robbery. Most shops (at least the ones in my area) do it for $20 a tire, less if you bring in the wheels off the bike or if you buy the tires from them. Learn to do it yourself and celebrate with the money you saved by buying a case of expensive beer. Mark http://www.reelrider.com

try a 160/70 17 tubeless on a cast wheel. the $20 dollars is well worth it. especially when you dont put an arrow on the rim in the direction of travel and have to redo it. :( around here $20-$40 per tire. dealers are the higher price. some stores will change it for free if you buy the tire there

Sounds like a hose job. If you bring the wheel in, you'd pay $15-30 around here, $20-25 the norm. If you just bring the bike in, then whatever the traffic will bear. How much money do you have? How much time? How much pride?

Cycle Gear offers free mounting of the tires they sell, and $5 extra to balance. Seems pretty fair, even if they want the wheel assembly taken of the bike by the bike owner - gee, it is so hard :-) harhar Mike Torst Las Vegas
