Hi.
To save a heap of cash I have recently bought an Avon tyre for my Rocket 3, but now I have to get it fitted. I approached my local Triumph dealer who want £90 just to fit the tyre, yes I know that they have to remove the rear wheel, but surely this is a rip off price to pay just to do that, and defeats the point of me trying to save the cash in the first place! I now have a far cheaper quote from someone else, but I have to remove the wheel my self and then drop it off to them to fit the tyre I bought. But here is the rub, I don’t have a bike stand! They are expensive to buy and again defeats the whole point in trying to save my cash. I have the knowhow to remove the rear wheel, but without a stand im worried. Does anyone know of a safe way to prop up the bike while I remove the rear wheel without using a bike stand? I would appreciate any help you can give me. I live in Sheffield, can anyone loan me one for a few days? Happy and safe biking to you all. Paul.

That’s a lesson learned mate, the Guy who sold you the tyre had all the profit as most independent bike garages discount the fitting cost of the tyres they sell as they make a profit on the tyre as well as the labour. In your case you have given 50% of the fitting cost to the tyre seller so why would a garage discount their labour when THEY have has to buy all the special tools, provide a workshop and all the expertise needed to fit it to your bike when all the seller of the tyre provided was the tyre ?
My advise is if you can’t or don’t know how to fit a part get the guy who is fitting it to supply it as it will always work out cheaper in the long run, Just imagine thgriefif you would have had if the tyre had tuned out to be defective after it had been fitted !
