I don’t think there is anywhere that is inexpensive that I can think of. Freewheeling on military could do them, but you’re in hamburg, so I’d call berts bikes on southwestern, they’re open til 4 today I believe. ---

I’d say dealership, only beacause most other bike shop are for custom work, my dad had them put diferant tire on his bike before it was delivered, so I assume they would do it as service too. ---

Do you already have the tires? Alot of places around here won’t do them unless you buy the tires from them, I know bert’s, don george’s, and radioactive won’t do them that way. Try big ed’s on ridge right near abbott, I’m pretty sure they do them. ---

prep to be raped! Don’t take it to weavers, they are the worst of all local dealers with their quotes and actual cost. ---

also, if possible take the wheels off. It usually costs about half of what it costs if you take the whole bike in. ---

[/quote] the wheels are off, and actually the rear tire is off. I finally finished the paint and i am seeing the future temps in the 50’s so i figured i need some rubber on asap. ---

Freewheeling will do them whether you bought the tires from them or not. It will cost a lot less if you just bring in the wheels. I’m surprised Radioactive won’t do them. The other option would be to learn how to do it yourself. It’s actually not that hard. ---

That’s a silly policy, the dealerships are only alienating potential customers by doing this.
