Just wanted to do a poll to see how many of us changed our own tires and how many paid shops to do it. I asked around last summer and most shops charged $40 - $100 (usually around $55) and I thought that was pretty steep - mainly because I used to work at a bicycle shop where it costs $8 labor :-D
Regardless, I changed my own rear last summer (without tire levers) and it was a pain but worth the money saved. With tire levers I imagine it could be done in less than an hour. Personally, I'm going to buy tire levers and keep changing my own (and possibly change those of my friends for a small price ).
How about you?
