Changing tires old school

[Grumpy Goat]

Never changed a tire and hopefully never will, lol.  Definitely respect the commitment of you guys that do. I watched my tire guy struggle with the super stiff RSIV sidewalls, even with his machine.  I was happy to look at magazines while that was going on.

 I don't blame you. Main reason I am willing to do my own is because I do not want to waste rubber and needlessly fill landfills. Many places will only mount new tires. If I found a place that would mount any tire for me at a reasonable cost, I would probably do the same. 

Now that I have an ADV bike, there is the potential that I might have more than one set of tire (50-50 & 80-20) and so may have more frequent tire changes, but I'd have to see how this bike and me going occasionally offroad works out. If it does then doing my own makes more sense ...
