whilst surfing i came across this and found it quite informative. The author is fine with allowing posting a link to it.

Re: How To Change Tyres

interesting......
and very informative.....

but, for £5to fit, and £3 to dispose of the old tyre is it worth it?

a lot of places in the midlands fit for free if you buy the tyre from them and take the loose wheel in.

good link tho....

I fit mine because I don't trust other people to touch my bikes. Americans regularly talk about US$30-40 to fit tyres so they'd probably be interested.

£3 to dispose of tyres!
I thought the A$1.60 I pay was outrageous :-)

Definitely interesting; I'm not too fond of that balancing method, though ...
