Changing tires old school
#1
No new posts today so I think I shall share.
Well I finally did it, I bought some manual tire changing tools. Close to me MC shops are charging $60 cad a tire to change and balance. I know its harsh but I say pooie!
Two bikes need tires. If my math is correct that's $240 before tax. I picked up two spoons (may need a third), a few rim protectors and valve stems off of Amazon.ca along with the BMW adaptor from Marc Parnes and away we go.
I have not received the tools yet but I am somewhat leery as my right rotator cuff is caput and my left is very sore. I hope I did not bite off more than I can chew and I know there are you peeps out there that would say just that, with good reason. Anyhow here goes nothing.
Funny thing is I bought a 12 gauge and a 308 (yes I am Canadian) but have not fired them yet for the same shoulder reason.
