I take my rims off the bike and carry them down to Cycle Gear, if you buy the tires from them they charge 25 for mounting and balancing if you bring your own tires they charge 35 for mounting and balancing.

I wanna know why labor rates are lower in Michigan than in Texas. Texas likes to brag about being a non union state like that saves all us non workers money. Oh well, at least we have warm summers. Forty-two days over 100 so far this summer and still counting.
