Anyone know a good reasonable place to get tires mounted? I've been quoted $105 and $112 from local shops for two tires mounted with wheels on bike and that seems pretty expensive. Looking to see if someone can provide a helping hand for a newbie in the bay area. Thanks all!

with the peanuts
for wheels on the bike that sounds about right...
it cost me just under $60 for both wheels off my bike, aint cheap, but the tires online have some pretty good deals so atleast you save there.
Went to Santa Clara Cycles over the weekend to buy my tires and they allowed me to use their tools to take off my wheels at their shop if I did it myself. They mounted and balanced for free at that point as well.
$242 and a couple hours later I had a fresh set of Battlax S21's installed. Great guys, awesome shop, and really good prices. I guess buying local ended up being cheaper than buying online for me. Definitely recommend Santa Clara Cycles for anyone who needs tires and don't mind getting their hands a bit dirty while learning more about their ride.
Thumbs up for Greg and Doug at Santa Clara Cycle Accessories, nice folks. Their prices are right too. Why deal with tires sitting on your porch. Buy local.

Can someone help with tire mounting in Marin County?
Local shops get a bit pricey with multiple bikes and multiple sets of wheels.
I buy some tires locally and pay the price for mounting, but it adds UP!
I used to use a guy working out of his garage who did nice work using his No-Mar machine ... $20 wheel. He's gone now ... moved away. A skilled tech can do a change in under 10 minutes per wheel with the right equipment.
Any independents around now?
Please, no more Bloody Knuckles! :wow

Answering my own questions. At the end I did it for $45 at Advanced Cycle Services in San Jose. Jim was quick and considerate. I highly recommend him. Just in case someone finds this thread.

Sounds like its time for a tire machine and a class on proper technique to avoid those bloody knuckles :laughing
