This is the third time in less than a year that i have a flat tire on the back tire, and it costs me $100 every time. Should it cost less? If this is going to be a regular thing I'm going to have to make some arrangements.

$100 is a hell of a lot.

I paid $45, including the $15 tube.

What kind of bike is it? Are you taking the rim/tire to the dealer or is the dealer taking the rim off the bike for you?

Depends on how much stuff has to be removed to get at the tire to remove it.
If you have bags and accessories galore, $100 it could cost.

at 100 bucks a pop I would think you would stay out of the alleys

OK let me ask this: can I take it to any tire place?

Plus it's a standard back wheel. (a GZ-250) I have no bags or anything. I guess replacing the tube itself is trivial. It's taking the back wheel off and removing the tire from the rim that's all the work. And putting it back on..

weird I dont have a tube on my bike. My rear tire was $120 mounted and everything but I have riden 1500 miles on the tire and havent had a problem. I am thinking you have some other issues like riding over some nails or something.

$34 for me.

Is there such a thing as a standard rate book for bikes like there is for cars?
