[Closed] How much do LBS charge to set up tyres tubeless.

[url= http://bit.ly/YH19iM ]click here[/url] as you are Sooooooooooooooo busy.

I would recommend finding the time, only so that you know how to do it yourself and fix any issues if they go wrong.

Good videos on the Stans site.

First time i will admit is a faff but once you know the mechanics of it then it becomes a doddle.

Google is your friend as on and on points out so well 🙂

Thanks for answering my question very helpful.

I got given the fluid and the compressor after the lbs/mate did the first one...

Good fun under an hour of labour if it's a new wheel.

pay for postage to me and back and i will set them up for your for £10 plus materials. Or if you are really that busy why not just take them to lbs and pay the man the amount of £ he requests. But seriously just do it your self

I guess it depends on the rim & tyre combination.

Phone the local bikeshop , then you will know the price exactly rather than asking for random prices on a forum . They will also need other information such as are your rims tubeless , do you have tubeless ready or UST tyres ? That aside it's probably about an hours labour , a pair of tubeless valves £15 , sealant £10 , rim strips or Stans yellow tape £2 to £ 15 depending and possibly new tyres .

I had mine done at Bache Brothers Cycles.

This.

Otherwise you'll be like folk we've met, hadn't a clue how to even attempt a fix.

+1 for trying it yourself, if it all goes smoothly then you'll wonder why shops charge so much, if it doesn't then you'll understand very clearly 🙂

Spend the money you would do on paying a bike shop to do it on getting the correct rim/tyre combo and it takes less time than putting a tube in

I've just picked up my new Arch EX wheels from LBS, started @ 5pm
Strip green Hope tape off, apply Stans yellow tape to both rims, insert valves, mount Maxxis LUST tyres, soap beads & inflate, deflate, insert sealant - finished 5.41pm.

i find its a total lottery. First time I did it I used Specialized tyres and it took me all of 5 min max for both. My mate had bought the stans kit at the same time and he just couldn't get it to work despite having tubeless compatible gear. Next time I tried it it took me about 2 hours....

worth learning the tricks to make it work however, but in my experience some are really easy, some require alot of effort, and sometimes it flat out just doesn't work, even with tubeless tyres. For this reason I suspect many bikeshops won't want anything to do with a job like that.
