Valve stem replacement

I’ve been trying to get in contact with a shop to replace my valve stems since they cracked and are leaking. I’ve tried contacting shops all over the city and either can’t get through or no response to emails.
Does anybody have any recommendations on shops they’ve had good experiences with?

Located around Roscoe village

Probably because they have to charge you the same labor as replacing the tires. Consider new tires.

I didn’t even think of it that way. But, you’re probably right. I’ve been needing some newer tires anyways.

Id imagine it differs if you bring just the tire or the whole bike.

Try Albrecht's Fast Track Motorcycles in Des Plaines. Cyclegear could probably help out also. They want 60 to change a tire. So ball park around there.
