Any mobile tire services in Seattle area?

hi folks, looking to retire from riding and offload my bike but I picked up a bad flat in my last riding season. been trying to locate a mobile tire service but haven't had any luck. I'm not in a huge rush so flexible on scheduling.

Any recommendations?

[bullitt] Any interest in doing a group buy of ortlieb fork bag brackets?

So just got my bullitt and obviously started looking at storage options.

As I imagine most people have come across https://www.convoy-products.de/en/produkt/ortlieb-fork-pack-with-daybag-adapter/ only to be disappointed they were out of stock.

Well I found a 3d print file for this same bracket https://www.printables.com/model/1160088-bullitt-adapter-for-ortlieb-fork-pack/files and the bags themselves https://us.ortlieb.com/products/fork-pack

Since I don't trust 3d printing for something like this and feel like it's plastic waste I am reaching out to a local machine shop to see pricing for getting these milled from aluminium flat stock.

To make things simpler would do only pairs and will have all of them powder coated black. If there is meaningful demand for uncoated ones so people can anodized or paint on their own, would consider it.

So basically. Any interest? Pricing is TBD based on feedback from the shop. If theses meaningful interest I'll start a group buy thread with pricing details when I get them.

I'm US based so that'd be easiest but I do have access to reasonably priced worldwide shipping.

Larry vs Harry Bullitt acoustic in Bollocks Yellow. So we've decided to name her Sandra Bollocks. credit to my wife for that name.

only 7 miles on the odo so far. waiting for UPS to deliver my CYC Photon gen2 so I can swap that in for the hills that are around here.

I've also go tons of plans for proper lighting, turn signals, and a matching ebike for my wife so we can tour with the little one.

shout out to Dandelion bikes in Seattle for the bike and Electrify Bike co in Utah for the motor. Both have been great to work with.
