replacing front brake discs

[joebloggs]

Am buying a set of front discs on ebay, my front tyre needs replacing so I was wondering, since i will need to get a bike garage to fit the tyre for me, would it cost a lot if I got the garage to fit my discs for me whilst the wheel is off? any ideas on price for that sort of job and fitting the tyre as well?

Be careful who gets the job of removing the bolts, not sure I'd trust a teenager on minimum wage to have the experience needed to not either round off the bolts or snap the heads off leaving you in a worse position than when you started

Thanks, the local bike garage is supposed to be quite good, its about half a mile from my house so not far and the 2 guys I have seen working there seem to be over 30.

[/size]tyres usually £10 or so to change with the wheel off.discs maybe £10-£30 depends how easy they come off

As cheap as that? I thought an hour labour was about £50 these days? I give them a call when I know they are open as not sure if they open until after new year now. My MOT due 2nd week in Feb so want to get things sorted before that. Cheers
