I know a lot of us like to work on our own bikes, but for tire changes and other stuff like that, his rates beat the dealers:

Where is this place located? I looked on the webpage and the address may be there but I could not find it.

To quote his website:
"Cyclesmiths uses Motion Pro, Pittsburg, Craftsman, and Central Pnuematic Tools ".

He may be a great tech, he may do great work, but Pittsburg and Central Pnuematic are sold at Harbor Freight. Not exactly quality tools.

Yeah, I do use some HF stuff, but not for "mission critical" applications.

Ha! Yeah, sounds a lot like my garage.

I'll admit to having two HF torque wrenches.

I thought I'd put him out there. He sounds honest enough.

Yes, but "fit and finish" often leave a lot to be desired.

He uses cheap tools and "passes the savings on to you".
