Rider RSS Rabaconda Street Tire Changer Review

$25 is a great price... Dealer prices are crazy and that was a few years ago... likely worse. Even if I could get them done for $25 the convenience is worth it for me.
My dealer has gotten stupid expensive on changing tires. I think last time he charged me $240 on the bike and I think he gets $60 a wheel off the bike. I just found an independent shop that said they will do them for $40 off the bike, but have no idea if they are competent (ie: won't scratch the rim, balance them properly etc) or not..
 
The last time I took mine to the shop, I asked them (nicely) to please be careful (as at the time in 2018, I had just had the wheels on the 94 powder coated and didn’t want to see any scratches)- they did fine at the time, but I would say the issue is likely that the shop won’t clean the leftover rubber grit on the inside of the wheel…sometimes that can result in a slow leak. I just want to dread doing tires as I have in the past it becomes sometimes an all day affair, lots of swearing, and I’m getting too old to destroy my back- hopefully this will avoid all of that (and yes, sometimes it is poor technique by my own action).
