Hmm..I don't have a center stand or a jack..I'm contemplating just taking it into the mechanic and having them do it.

It's $30 to patch the tire by itself, or $50 if I take the whole bike in there.

Unless you can put things back together ( I Can't) take it to the mechanic, he probably has a family to feed & needs the work. It's not worth getting hurt doing the job or not doing it right.

I agree with Radar on that but still take a peek at the homemade stand anyway, for future use if nothing else. It's easy to build and works well. By the way, I'd always opt for replacing the tube entirely on tubed tires instead of patching. In my opinion, patching should be emergency use only.

It set up perfectly straight and stayed there without a prop.

radar is right. Tire changes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours. Let the pros do the work, its worth the peace of mind.
