AfroCBR Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 So after hitting route 10 and 22 in Kentucky I realized my tire started threading pretty bad! I knew it was gonna be worse because I still had to make the 100 mile trip home. The end result is this (see pic below). Can anyone help a brother out and put a set of power pures on for me? Post up here or shoot me a PM...I will pay a pretty penny...I just want to get back out and enjoy this amazing weather. I llive in Dayton and can travel to get this done if necessary! Thanks all!

xtremef4i Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 for the future, a place in Covington, about 30 mins north of Dayton, charges the same price as dustin's shop (or old shop). Tikes Bikes is the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mello dude Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 As a backup you could go to tires unliimited off needmore - they charge 30 bucks for mount and balance, wheels off bike. They do a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
