I'll give Ace Mototech in Milton a third thumbs up
I use this: Venom Motorcycle Wheel Balancer Rim Tire Balancing Weights Truing Portable Tire StandYou just use a static balance for the front tire or don't bother?
I always found Pete’s to be very competitive. Did you have to get this deal in person at the Montreal show?You have to admire Pete's Superbike for being a full Canadian "bricks and mortar" retail store, yet able to sell at prices that rival online-only stores. Goes to show that just because you have physical presence overhead, it doesn't mean you need to have inflated prices. And that's just their regular prices. During the Montreal bike show, a 120/180 Dunlop Roadsport 2 set was only $150 - half of the lowest price I could find in Ontario. The additional $40 rebate just made it ridiculous.
Nope. They originally quoted me $175 for the pair plus shipping when added to my cart, and while I was debating whether to try them, the following weekend (which was the weekend of the show) the cart was showing $150.I always found Pete’s to be very competitive.

Figured I would try my luck again.There's no secret. I don't have any connections. I simply ask.
TripleClamp Moto is another good, local vendor who may bend on price. Give 'em a call.
2 years back I had a delayed shipping experience with REVCO. The REVCO website provided a non-trackable shipment number with the status that the tires were fulfilled. A week later the tracking number changed, I contacted the carrier who said they have just picked up the package -- more than a week after REVCO market is 'fulfilled' and "Left origin warehouse".Figured I would try my luck again.
This time the the person I spoke with budged and offered the same pricing as Pete's. No additional $20 flat fee or anything.
Only caveat is I need to pick them up as they would tack on another $30 for shipping, same as Pete's.
I'm fine with that, gives me a chance to spend more money and I really wanted to use up my Gift Card to GP.
Not a bad deal. A set of 705's for $274 tax in.
Now I'm thinking if I should just add another rear to the order as these are known not to last very long. I'm expecting 1-2 seasons.
Looks like its time for new tires. Any suggestions for west GTA?
Do you guys buy them online and take them to Rosey Toes, if he's still there? Or do you buy them at the dealership and not them handle it?
I hate my life everytime I change my bicycle tire. I'm not inclined to do this one myself but youtube sure does make it look easy.
Those are fancy trailer tiresAs I'm most likely keeping the trailer, once the current Pirelli Angel GTs get worn down, I'm going back to Shinko 705 but reverting to the original cast wheels as I like them better.
I'm probably going to go the route @Aens recommends as I don't have the skills, tools, or knowhow to remove, install, and balance new tires on rims.
The Shinkos? Had them on the 500X and loved them. They served me well on that bike.Those are fancy trailer tires

Mimico says he is putting them on his trailer.705s were terrific on my KLR, what you talkin' about Willis ?
No rush as the Angel GTs right now are basically brand new still with less than 4k on them.
Are you crazy? I wouldn't let Ted touch my bike to change tires, and that's all he wants to do now, change tires and change oil, something I can do myself, he won't touch your bike if you want him to actually be a mechanic, like tranny or engine problems. You can go if you want if you want scratched rims.Looks like its time for new tires. Any suggestions for west GTA?

If you're the same Pegassus from like a decade ago, are you crazy?Are you crazy?

As for Ted, he's semi-retired and wants to pick and choose what jobs he does and doesn't care to do in his last few years working. Nothing wrong with that.
He's never scratched any of my rims. At worst, he asks my girl to take her shirt off when he sees her. Nothing wrong with that either! Her tits are fantastic, I ask her the same thing at home like 12 times a day.
She declines, and then they talk about hiking, mountains, and other hippy stuff together. I think it's kinda cute to be honest. Ted's a good dude. If he's ever truly scratched your rims it was probably on purpose lol
I'll have to remember this the next time I drop by (your place).
concur. Ted has changed rims on 3 of my bikes, always available last minute and no scratches. think the last one cost me $50 front and rear all in.If you're the same Pegassus from like a decade ago, are you crazy?
