    Got a flat today on the way home from work. Will the likes of Advance Pitstop/Kwik-fit etc be able to fix a moped tyre or would I need to go to a motorbike garage?
    Cheers

    I'd say they'd be able to do it alright.

    Proper motorbike garage is the way to go. If you have AA cover they'll plug it for you too.

    If you can get to a bike shop they sell repair kits which would let you plug the puncture as well as supply compressed air to get you on your way.

    Always thought a place like Advance would be able to do the tires on bikes...

    My mistake.

    Having bother getting the wheel off (rear). There's 5 allen bolts on the RHS but they're too tight for me to take off. The LHS is pretty inaccessible. Anyone handy with this?

    They're more than likely put on using a torque wrench, allen keys won't be strong enough to take it off I'd say.

    Is there a local mechanic / garage near you?
