exactly

35 quid was the walk In price aswell. Pretty much all the tyre places round here are 9 - 4.30 which is no good for the tiny population of non-gyro collectors in southampton.

can you not befriend a doley

I bought the pocket size one,
used two drawers and watched a youtube movie and hey presto done. I bought this bead breaker from a Norwegian type of Halfords, £55.
Two wheel changes to save money, money spent on other bike stuff.

Personally I think 35 quid just to swap tyres is ridiculous. Second tyre swap this year.

You're getting ripped off, i go to a garage and get it done for £20. That's not swapping tyres, that's replacing tyres-so it's the removal of wheels, tyres, fitting new tyres, balancing, valves and disposal of tyres. http://www.rideinbiketyres.co.uk/

I just get my mechanic to do mine on our electro-pneumatic tyre machine and balance them on the electronic balancer when I want them doing... or I do them myself if I feel like keeping my hand in.

Cost = £0.00
