fitting new tyres to nc30 wheels
I am now ready to put some new tyres on my NC30 wheels. Is this something i can do without tyre fitting tools. I just dont trust the Monkeys down the road at ATS to do them, as the wheels have been freshly powercoated!!

I've got some proper tyre levers and it is a right ballache fitting tyres!
You'll also need a compressor to pop the bead onto the rim.
Take them to a bike shop rather than a car garage - you might get some bike related sympathy there!

talk to the fitter directly and wave a sterling note in front of them hinting heavily that they get it if they take extra care. works for me 

attention 2 detail - bike valeting and more

If you do take them somewhere, make sure they balance the single sider - not all places have the right spindles to balance the rear wheel (they won't tell you that though!).
