I wouldn't trust quickfit to change the tyre on a wheel barrow, take it to a bike shop you trust who change tyres.

I have been recommended one but its OZ wheels I have and would be seriously pissed off if they were damaged.
Just wondered if its something I could reasonably do myself without to much f'in and blinding in the comfort of my own garage

90 degree valves make life easy for you and a bit*h for the one doing the (proper) balancing... actually not for him but he has to put a lot more weights on the rim...

I do my own tyres! (well have done once!) I have levers and rim protectors.
There are ways of breaking the bead with a couple of bits of wood and a car or heavy workbench.
Currently watching some scrubs on ebay as I dont like paying full price for tyres!

If the tyres fitted properly ie with the red dots on the tyre fitted next to the valve then you should need very little weights if any at all. On my hybrid I didn't want weights ruining the look of the wheels so I fitted Dyna beads, expensive but work a treat.
