$45.oo fark that i just go into any tyre shop and do it myself for $10.00 tops for both wheels, last time i had to change em on sunday, no one open but a place in henderson, forget name, but he looked busy so i asked if i could just do it myself, he said sure thing. Quite happy to pay $10 to do all the work myself considering i wasn't gonna get it done anywhere else.

Go see Kerry mate, 6 western springs rd. Motohaus

I'm the one that told him to put it there. Otherwise I would never go to his shop again and waste his time looking at bikes.

Cycle treads in CHCH is free fitting/balance as long as u take the wheel off 4 him. He even fitted a full set of nobbles to my bike 4 a adventure ride, then when l got back he refitted the origanal tyres 4 free. TOP BLOKE !!!

Which shop Folcan?? If you're in Pakuranga, go see Botany Honda. I think they charged $30 per tyre back in November ish.

Not only that (if you need to buy tyres), but they were also very helpful with tyre choice, and their prices were the best I could find.

Well I decided to try it myself.. I got the old one off with my fathers help.. and we put the new one on... but we dont have the pressure to pop the tubeless tyre closed

just saved my father $45 or so

I think I paid $70 at Motomart to do two wheels, removed from the bike myself. $45 probably okay I guess if you don't take the wheel off or replace it.
