    I don't care what they say, I think you have beautiful man-boobs, what size manziere do you wear?
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind always be at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face,
    and rains fall soft upon your fields.
    And until we meet again,
    May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

        Good one! I was thinking arse cleavage (very disgusting on a guy, looks good on gals).

        I agree with taking the wheel off and bringing it in if you can. Most of the time (around here anyway) it's only a 1-2 day wait and there's no charge for the mounting if you buy the tire from the dealer.

          Not sure where you live, but D&D cycles in Tempe,AZ is fantastic with wheels off of the bike. I just dropped off a wheel at 9:00AM, they called at 10:30 to say it is ready, picked it up at Noon, Back on the bike by 1:30. Yes, I took a long lunch break.

          Oh yeah, I did NOT have an appointment.

              george called it a bro, his father called it the manziere (or maybe that was kramer)

                And some shops like to pick a day to do all their tire changes , too . Shop I like does theirs on saturdays . They just spend that morning doing all the tires , then the rest of the day with "light" work .

                  In my experience all dealers and mechanics are worthless. I hope there's an afterlife just for people who work at dealerships in which all they experience is a constantly resetting cycle of events in where they wait for something for 10,000 years which sucks when finally finished.

                      my local shop here in texas will charge 20 bucks if you bring them the rim and will have it back in thirty minutes usually less?

                          there is a black pipe stand you can make for less than $50 from lowes or home depot.

                          or some have used rebar and a jack stands through the frame.

                              Invest in a center stand. I got mine off of a KR member cheap. He even gave me the bolts, springs and that "c" bracket.

                                I do the Saturday morning sprint at Iron Pony. If I time it right, it takes about 20 minutes.
