(Tx, Houston) Tubeless Tire Changes $15

Hey guys. I bought a no-mar scratchless tire changer and I am trying to make up the cost. $15 per tire for mounting and balancing for forums members.

Forgot to add: My name is Sebastian and my number is 832-305-6355

Re: Tubeless Tire Changes $15

Not sure about the rules on posting services, but either way you should also post up on Craigslist

If its against the rules I would be happy to take it down. Already up on CL charging $20 per tire. $15 is the discount price.

Yeah I figure $15 per tire is pretty fair. Most shops in town charge atleast $25 per tire if you buy from them =(

Yep, Cycle Gear is $20 (plus a disposal fee -- $2.50?) if you buy from them. (But they will balance for free!)

$15 sounds fair to me.

Sebastian great job on my tire. Thanks for coming by picking up and then dropping the tire back at my office. Great service

I highly recommend this service and would gladly do it again.

Now THAT is a major plus!

On the other hand, it takes away an opportunity for fellowship.

On the gripping hand, my "new" bike has tubes.

I may give you a holler next time I need a tire change, Sebastian.

Re: (Tx, Houston) Tubeless Tire Changes $15

Sorry for the late reply guys. Just moved, I am now located right off 610 and 288. By all means if you ever need any tires changed or any other motorcycle help for that matter, just give me a shout.

How are you liking that nomar changer? I'm thinking about picking one up and doing something similar to help recover the expense (I'm in Lubbock)

Re: (Tx, Houston) Tubeless Tire Changes $15

Its a great machine. If you've never done tires before its rather simple. Just watch alot of videos and make sure to depress the tires in the proper areas and most tires are cake. Only problems I have had thus far have been getting off a heavy cruiser tire and getting some old CB rims to seat. Besides that its been great.

Sebastian, I will give you a call next week, in the mean time how is the "logistics" of the tire change?

Let me know . . .

Sounds good. Not sure what exactly you mean by "logistics", but its a pretty simple process. It takes about 20 minutes per tire if they are off the bike.

Take them off the bike and put them in the car? or just bring the bike and I can take them off for extra.

OK, I will see how complicated (to me) it is to take the wheels off the bike; the other thing is your time availability to do this, I guess once we talk, I will know...

Thanks!
