I thought this would be a real good question if it hasn't been beaten to death here already.
<li>Where are you guys getting your tires mounted and balanced?</li>
<li>How much are you paying?</li>
<li>If you do it yourself, what are you using?</li>
The reasons I ask are that I recently bought a set of new skins at the local shop I like to patronize and feel like I got raped when it came time to have them put on the rims. I got a decent deal on the tires, but no where near what I could have saved online. As I said, I like to give them the business, so I'll spend a litle more, but $60 for m/b two tires, which I bought from them, rims off the bike? That's a bit more than I wanted to spend. A few dollars more, and I'd have another new front tire.
On our YZF-R1 board, we're currently doing a group buy for a do-it-yourself mounter/balancer setup. A few of the guys had them and recommended them, and for $128 I'd be saving money in no time.....iIf I can get the hang of it. Rumor has it that static balanced wheels are more accurately balanced than spin balanced ones anyhow.
So, what are you guys doing with your new tyres?
