looking for a place to get the kiddos tires installed on his 50.
i pride myself in being able to do just about everything, but this is a bitch.
i do not want to use a dealership, rather looking for a good bike shop in northern denver area

Steels motorcycles will change them for 12 usually. You can bring them the tire off the bike and they will help you out. They are in south though. I don't know of anybody up north?

Get some tire irons and use windex or soapy water for lube, one person I know uses WD-40.

You think them baby tires are a bitch, try a new full size tire

i generally leave the tires to the pros, i have enough patience to take my bikes apart for fun, but changing tires really drives me nuts.
i will pick up a set of irons, i got the old ones off pretty easy. the tubes going on drove me nuts, i got the new tires on but i think i either punctured the new tubes or i have tem twisted. tire wont air up.
ill give it another try

I know what you mean. I went through 2 tubes, ( 2 different wheels) replaceing tires.
I would rather just remove the wheel and let Faster! (http://fastermotosports.com/) do the dirty work for me.
The cost of a tube is about the same as the cost for labor.
Faster is located on 8th ave. just west of I-25. They are easy to get to.

PLEASE don't pay to change dirt tires. Get some levers and come to my place. I'll show you how to do it quickly and painlessly.
