Thinking back to the 5 sets of tires I've gone through in the past 18,000 miles or so (two bikes), I really wish I'd put the money I've spent at Cycle Gear on mounting/balancing toward a No-Mar tire changer...

That being said, do you guys know of anyone local who can do it for cheaper than $60 a set...  Or who will let a non-moron use his/her machine for some fine pilsner beverages?  I may just bite the bullet and steal the money from the twin's college fund and get the damned changer. 

Bring the wheels and tires to the BBQ on the 23rd and we'll turn it into a drinking game...   
(I have a No-Mar Jr.Pro concreted "birdbath" style in my back yard)

Words can't express how much this terrifies me... 

only imagine if Duke could speak. 

Stuart Rust is $45 per and he knows what's what. But

so does Rich

Bates Cycle #2, 35E SB service road, just South of Valwood in Farmer's Branch. $20 per tire, disposal included, but no spin balance machine. Still, they won't scratch your rims, and bubble balance is adequate for most intents and purposes.

At the party we could pour a bunch of beer into Stu,
then talk him into mounting your tires with my machine...
then convince him to give you $45 each for the mounting!

  Now that sounds like a party!!

Randy McCarter.  Does a great job, has the no-mar mounting eqpt. He's not far from I-35W, north of FW.  LMK if you'd like his contact info.

Randy actually has a very high-end Ranger Racing tire machine, specifically set up for bikes, & it will not scratch your expensive Marchesinis, BSTs, etc... He's extremely thorough & does a lot more in a "tire change" than most people- clean, grease, check chain, brake pads, etc. [moto]

will he armor all the sidewalls too?
