If you buy the tire at tfog and bring him the wheel, he only charges $13/tire to install.

Cheaply priced tires ($15 less than I can find online) and $13 a wheel.. cant beat it!

Ya know? Flat rate is supposed to be based off of a 5 year experienced mechanic with all tools laid out and prepped, bike on stand already. If he can't do both tires in under an hour, he really needs to reconsider his profession. I'm nowhere near 5 professional years experienced, but at home, with a standard stand, no pneumatic tools, etc, I can have both my front and rear tires off and back on in 20 minutes. Add another 20 so that I may change both tires, and hell we'll add 20 for cushion if I'm having an off day and in an hour I can do front and rear.

It takes me all day to just get tires removed.

My OCD kicks in and I have to clean everything that I can't normally reach with the wheels on.

I wouldn't let anyone touch my bike who charged $15 to swap tires.

Carry on. No one get their panties in a bunch.... but I've seen other mechanics work and it makes me ill. I got one and only one shop I'll ever take my machines to.

Jim is a trustworthy guy so $14 is a great deal for that but do get your point that sometimes a good deal can cost more than what you save. Finding a trustworthy tech is difficult but when you find him/her it's heaven

[JKOL]

Jim is not only a great tech, he also isn't trying to retire off a single tire change. I will gladly call Jim when I am due for tires again.

[madvlad]

Jim has always gone above and beyond for all of us for sure Jimbo is the man

Just want to give a quick shout to Jim at TFOG for working me into his schedule without a lot of notice, and getting my replacement rear tire installed. After a slight hiccup with the reverse-threaded wheel nut, he was able to get my corded Pirelli bun swapped out for the new "fully rubberized" model!

As I'm sure he always does, he went out of his way to make sure this CSC member got a great value for the service, and he even honored a store credit that I've had in my back pocket for like 3 years. Ha! Thank you Jim!

Now if only some amazing luck could strike.... Like maybe me winning a track-day or something like that.

TFOG is the shit!
