what's the average cost for fitting new tyres on fixed wheels? too late for ringing round and i fancied getting them on tomorrow, but need to know if i can afford it or if i will be spending the morning proping the bike up with assorted lumps of wood and bricks lol Confused

tyres got delivered today, so i will just be riding to where ever with them slung across my shoulder if i can afford it.
the quote i had for loose wheels was £25 for the pair to be fitted.
i was thinking £50 ish for fixed wheels. sound about right?

I pay £5 per wheel for fitting and balancing to loose wheels - wouldn't want to pay too much more than that, to be honest.

Think the same bloke charges £15 per wheel for fitting balancing to wheels on the bike if they're not your tyres.

If you're talking about Mark at Ride in i'm sure he always charged me 10.60 for last tyre i brought with me fitted... Does he do discount to peeps with race licenses or is it just cause he likes you Razz ?
