Quick question.

I recently got a nail in my rear tire, it did not puncture but I do not want to take any chances. So, I was wondering if anyone knew a good reliable bike shop that changes the rear tire for cheap. I am crossing my fingers for a shop that does tire + install for around 160? :o Thanks for any help guys!

I can't say they are cheap but if Advanced Kawi is still in business (economy suckage) they are the only shop I've heard of in your neighborhood.

you can buy a plug kit to fix the tire. many shops won't plug a tire due to liability. i have never used one, but some on this forum have and i think they are supposed to be good until 80mph or so.

If you want to come down to south orange county, I'd recommend Performance Motorsports in San Juan Capistrano (right off the 5 freeway). They've been nothing but fair and good to me.
