And Mao is a hipster ,
you should see the video like he's using his hip power
to take off and put the tires on rims.

Now I can see the difference, you are more personable and you offer more services.
Are you open to the public?
Can you get any tires?
Do you guaranty anything?
Do you do any other bike related services?

I have a friend that has a Yahama with a drive shaft, and he needs tires. Is this something garage Mao can do? If so at what cost?

I am open to the public. No, I am not a tire reseller. I sometimes can score deals with a group buy. Of course I guarantee my work. I wouldn't have a devout fan base if I didn't. I do everything, oil changes, sprockets, chains, engines, shocks, crash repairs, whatever. It just has to be worth my time.

Once again, you are not indentured to come to GarageMao. Go to anyone you like.

I prefer not to lower suspensions for liability reasons. I will do it for someone I really know but not a stranger. Reason being is lowering the bike can really mess with the bike's handling. I do not want to be held liable for anything should the rider crash.

Oh, I did miss it. What size are the rims and tires? Shaft drive or chain drive doesn't matter to me.

He's not looking for race tires, just normal street tires. He rides local, he's an open minded biker type guy overall a great guy to deal with, and a good friend of mine.
Here is what he texted me for tire sizes:
front is 120-90-18-65h
rear is 170-80 15 m-c77h

What bike is this? Sounds like a cruiser. I'm not equipped to handle taking the wheels off a cruiser or cruiser type bike. Bring me the wheels and tires in hand and I'll mount the tires.

It is a crusier. I'll let him know that you can do the mounting but not tire removal. Thanks!

Yeah. Starting out sucks. So many tools I want, so little cash.

Not really. It just doesn't make fiscal sense for me to invest in a bunch of tools to service one or two cruisers.

I already own the gear to handle sport bikes so servicing them is a logical choice. I'm actually not interested in getting into the bike servicing business. I do what I do as a service and to help support my hobby. But first, I need to break even on my investment.
