Haywire II -- Bicycle Michaels charges $10 for labor on a flat repair and $5.50 for a standard tube. The total with tax comes to $16.90. The original post was not about which shop or shops in New Orleans are the most expensive. I really do not have an opinion on that question but do know that I get EXCELLENT service at Bicycle Michaels (and also at other shops if / when I go anywhere else). Jethro
