haha! Oh man. I just found this on craigslist. I feel like if you can't change your own tire you need to learn how and save your $6. or $30 - $50. hehe

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bik/878128981.html

You'll need to bring your own innertube or tires
6 Dollars for single(if you bring in your tubes/tires)
10 dollars for both wheels(if you bring in your tubes/tires)
Service + innertube + tires = 35-50 dollars(Depending on type of tire)
Service + innertube = 10-15 (one wheel)
Service + tire = 25-40(depending on which ever bike tire is)

You'll have to bring your bike to my garage

You sure that isn't the service fee list from a LBS?

Diamondback · 10-13-2008, 06:46 PM

i can top that...last friday i was at a chain store with the initials performance bike, some guy in a beater comes in and asks, "how much to change a tube?"
the salesperson ringing up my new hitch rack doesnt flinch an eye and says $10 plus $6 for a new tube.

the guys says "OK do it"

by the way, my old rack is still up for grabs

I charge a California Burrito, and that includes a whole tune up! lol

BFloFoxRider. · 10-13-2008, 07:55 PM

at our shop it is $11.87 for a flat fix.
We supply the tube.
$11.87 is after the tax.

Does it come with a reach around?

I dont think its a matter of laziness on why taking it to a LBS for a tire change, I think its more because some people dont have the tools or simply just not mechanicaly inclined to figure it out.

Its the LBS that is shamefully ripping off the customers is the problem. I for one would not return to any bike shop that I feel ripped me off because I am uninformed...

PassatBoy101 · 10-13-2008, 08:50 PM

I am going to bring my car in and see if he can do it for that price, or the motorcycle.

I dont know watching someone change tube on his DH bike I think 6 would be a bargain, between the rims and the thick DH tires.
