I want to go Dark. I've read up and researched, got a tire, and now have the ability to remove the wheel. My problem lies in mounting the CT. I'm on the southside of Atlanta, GA. Anyone in Atlanta that can help mounting the tire or know a shop that will do it for me? Thanks

If you have the tire off, take it to a mom and pop shop and have them change it. Pay cash and tell them it's for a "drag bike".

Several of us have had luck going to "the dealer". Just tell them the same thing.

Call around. Several places will do it for you. And let us know how it goes...send pics!

After several shops and mounting the CT backwards the first time, I finally got it mounted and home. The bearings will be in tomorrow and hopefully I'll get it on this weekend. Let's hope for good weather around Sunday afternoon.

So the questions would be: what bike do you have and what tire did you go with.
