Javier, so you recommend asking around at local shops to see who is most receptive to it?
Seems most of the Indy shops around here that mount are also tire dealers; I'm hoping to get a decent price. Heck, I may add up and end up paying less by buying local just from cheaper M&B costs. Thanks, anyone else? Kurt Also, sorry about the hijack, just seems an appropriate side topic.

It is really difficult for them to compete with the online prices. Most dealers around here charge around $150 per wheel for mounting and balancing. I found a small shop which people I like and trust and they charge me around $40 for the same job if I take the wheels off the bike. $20 if I take the old tire off the rim. Another shop I had used in the past with a high reputation in the area won't even do the job if you don't buy the tires from them, no matter how much you offer to pay, just because they can't warranty the quality of the tires if you buy them somewhere else.
