Go shopping for tubes,$31.00??? Gimme a break...
Consider rim wraps,too. You need to be there,see what's done and how...
Crappy attitudes don't give me confidence in quality.
IDK what materials are used, are tubes pvc or rubber? Is he selling pvc and charging for rubber?
A guy stripped the rim strip off mine and ran duct tape... cheap,effective.

Funny(?) experience from 45 years ago: took 2 wheels from my ducati 250 roadracer to a dealer to get new tires, tubes installed. The shop mechanic was on duty at the sales counter after supper. After my request, he blew up and almost had a coronary, saying if I wanted to race, I better learn how to do stuff myself. Left his shop with 2 tire irons and a red face, tail between my legs! Haha, stuff you never forget! Grin

NO, front, I can get that,, or,could,before the shoulders went.A healthy guy can.. but the Rear is just mean.

You might want to clean and lube where rubber seal lips ride. Any CLEANING on a spacer should be Around and not down the length, don't create lines that would not go with the path of the spacer/seal contact.
