Tyres...again?

[adeejaysdelight]

I would not trust anyone else to work on my bike, or car for that matter. Why would I pay someone lower qualified than myself to do a job that I am only going to undo to check it has been done properly, which it will not have been. How many grease monkeys have you seen with a torque wrench? None, that's how many. Every bloody nut and bolt getting horsed right up to snapping point. No thanks. And rant over

I have a friend (master tech) who fits tyres to loose wheels for me. He has never taken a penny off me for it in 18 years, although I do buy him nice presents every so often. Usually bike related.
