This was basically my birthday present to myself. Drag my friend on his newly running ninja250 and my fiance to a campsite in cold weather. It was awesome and I can’t wait to try moto camping again.

    Yeah so far I’ve only ever done a tubeless tire myself once and a tubed tire (the wrongest way possible) about 10 years ago and it took 8 hours with two people.

    I now have more tire related tools but am still very intimidated by the future job.

      First time is 8 hours, second time 2, third can be 45 mins. I wouldn’t worry about changing tubeless tires though, for me that’s worth paying someone 20€, lol

        My issue is not that I do/don’t mind paying someone it’s that shops keep closing and prices keep going up. I think last time I asked around I got a reply for $75 to mount a single tire.

            I was quoted somewhere around $300 for an unusual specialty tire a year ago. I only found out during the payment that they tacked on $140 for the labor. I paid, but I will never go back.

              That’s absolutely crazy, here even a main dealer wouldn’t charge more than 30€ for fitting (not counting weirdness with pressure sensors, mooses, tubeliss, or stuff like that). Well, maybe Ducati would charge more, but they have a reputation to uphold.
