I went and looked at it... but I'm seriously debating this towards the negative. $120 basically OTD. At $30 a tire to swap them out at the little shop with no balenceing which isn't an issue cause I use beads ($45 at HD with balence). That is 4 tire changes I need to break even. Not including I need to modify the unit to use it, and store teh 75# beast somewhere.

So 4 tire changes...
18months riding change rear $30
18months riding change front & rear $60
18months riding change rear $30
=$120 & almost 5 yrs to break even.

Could shorten it by charging buds to do it. (I usually only do 1 maybe 2 a year). Plus the "what if" I scratch up a rim or something stupid. IDK...
