Any truth that a dealer won't mount anything other than the Kenda?

I found one they just want a waiver signed because it's not OEM but the mounting, balancing and install they will stand behind, not the tire. So I've ordered a Kuhmo tire. Thanks

Head over to Maddies in Dansville, there only 25 minutes from you. They should take care of you. If not, I had the Kuhmo installed by Filers Powersports in macedon up towards me. I'd be glad to help with transport if needed!

M kumho came ups yesturday. now waiting for it to warm up on my day off to take to the shop for mounting. They are charging 100 to do the complete job. Not sure if that is out of line but I'm going to give him a chance and see how he does on a simple thing just in case I need him for big stuff.

Almost forgot
Make sure you mention to the tech at filers about putting the valve stem back in same position it came off. Mine was spun 180 degrees from correct position and now valve is even more difficult to get to when trying to add or adjust air pressure.

(check your bicycle, kenda is the tube/tire supplier to 95% of thoses tires)....start with a pressure of 20 - 22lbs it will be more than enough....
