getting tires mounted

[bwringer]

Cycle Outfitters also carries hundreds of helmets, riding gear galore, boots, oil filters, tools, etc. and so on.

Prices are generally just a bit above rock bottom internet prices, but most often it's well worth an extra $5 - $10 to try stuff on and then go home with the exact item you just tried on.

I love the place, and have spent many, many dollars there!

I certainly wasn't casting any aspersions on their tire pricing -- they have the best deal around, and they keep a wide range in stock. They do a lot of business in tires, so you know you're going to get reasonably fresh rubber and that the tire mounting monkeys in back are going to have the proper equipment and experience to do a good job.

And since it's just us Indiana folks here...

If you can mount your own tires or find a reasonable deal for the service, I highly recommend ordering from Tires Unlimited:

The web site is terrible -- figure out what you need on the site, then call to place the order. They're located in Dayton, Ohio, so standard UPS shipping to most or all of Indiana is cheap (about $8 a set) and overnight!

They are an actual tire warehouse with tons of inventory, not some goober ordering from catalogs in his Mom's basement.

A lot of online tire and parts stores these days aren't actual stores, so you have to watch yourself or be prepared to wait a couple of weeks for Skippy the Geek to get around to ordering your stuff from the real suppliers.
