Where do you guys get your tires mounted?

[NEIKOS]

I avoided listing them becuase the request was for a Triumph right?

I didn't mention MotoCorsa becuase I wasn't sure they'd take/work on a Triumph.

Nope.  Salty posted first with the question.  He's looking to get tires mounted.

I just related the story of Kaptain Kidd, my buddy with the Triumph, who is going through a similar conundrum.

80 bucks or so at EDR vs. 130 bucks at Portland Moto. 

that's all.

Get some soap, some sticky weights, and a pair of large C-clamps

use C-clamps to remove tire from wheel

loob tire

put tire on wheel, they slide right on (make sure rotation is in proper direction)

then slide the axle through the wheel

set the axle on a pair of surfaces so the tire can spin free

apply weights with duct tape first not factory sticky

Starting at the old weight location, adjust weight amount and location till tire doesn't move when rotated to any position

take off duct tape and apply weights with factory sticky

and

Viola

job well done

Who is this chick Viola and can I get her to touch my tires too? Chicks touching my rubber is hot... if they speak French and say things like "Bonjour" and "voila".... or "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?"

[desmosome]

yup that is whut they do

you can stand there and watch them put it on and balance it in less than 10 min

wow 120 bucks an hour

what a job....

I remember paying EDR like $20 a tire last time I had tires put on . . . and they cleaned and lubed the chain while they were down there! 

Guess from below that's all changed now
