youngrider Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 So I need to get the tube and rim strip replaced in the back wheel of my bike. I've already purchased a new rim strip and a tube, as well as taken the wheel off of my bike. How much should it cost for me to take it to a local shop and get these replaced for me? I simply don't have the time to try to do it myself. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Will take more time driving it somewhere and waiting then driving home than just doing it. It's super easy to change tubes. Like 15 minutes tops for first time. About 5 minutes every time after that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorset Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 this is all you need: i've never had three. buying a set of tire irons would be cheaper than paying somebody else to do it, and you have the irons afterwards. forty minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Might be 1 or 2 other things you need but they won't break the bank. We've done these threads before a lot so I won't elaborate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlboro man Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Does it have tire locks like dirt bikes and stuff it’s very easy to do if they don’t had a kz900 That had them sucked balls to change tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorset Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 putting a tight tire on is easier if you use a rubber lubricant like P-80. it's super expensive but a little goes quite a ways. i use it on tires, seals, O-rings, and so on. goes away after it dries. https://www.google.com/search?q=p-80+lubricant&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjH1fzz8f_XAhVP02MKHSBlBzwQ_AUICigB&biw=1143&bih=549&dpr=1.63#spd=2267592297128014198 ^^^this is really cheap, for 200 ml. i got an $800 jug for 20 bucks on eBay once.
