If I were to spend a little money on a tire changing setup to do in-house, would anybody be interested in having me change a few tires for them?

Would probably be $10 a tire, off the bike, you dispose...

Just through it out there to see if there would be any interest before I go spending the money.

absolutely yes
too bad you don;t have the set-up now.
I got 2 sets of tires that need mounting for the race bike.

Just a heads up, Degsy & Rye both have mouting/balancing stuff as well... Degs is in Taunton, Rye is in Peabody (?)

Eh.. get the stuff anyway.

I'm probably going to get set up to do it next time I need tires too. Even if I never help anyone else out it still pays for itself pretty quickly. I've been telling myself I would for a few years, it's about time I actually go through with it.

Yeah I know, but nobody around here really. By the way, I do have the stuff to do tires now (do my own), just not very high quality stuff to want to do it in any sort of volume. But if your despirate...

yeah- I kow they have them set up, but Sturbridge is 15 minutes from me.

I can get 14,000 miles out of a set of tires usually, so I don't change my own that often... only about once a year.

**benVFR** · 03-31-06, 02:37 PM

Damn.. what kind of bike are you riding?

I thought I was one of the big tire misers... I got 9000 out of my last set and only changed them cause I was sick of them and wanted different tires... but 14000 is impressive.

I have a 2000 VFR. Last bike was a 600 Katana and get 18,000 out of a set. I'm mostly highway riding and not to squidly (for the most part)
