    They only took the tyre?

    That's some very specific thieving.

    Probably would have been easier to seal the bike than the tyre!

    Just the tire or the whole wheel?

    There's a bike shop right past the Dunnes on Headford that I got my tires at.

    Buy the wheel, tube and tyre online and fix it yourself

    Not in my experience, I was treated like badly in there last year (before they moved), wouldn't go near them ever again, plus they are expensive.

    And from experience wait about 5 - 6 days for stuff to arrive or pop to a local bike store, Nigels, Kearneys and get it done immediately for a little more money.

    That sucks. I knew bikes could get stolen in Galway, but I didn't think piecemeal theft was much of an issue here.

    I lived in San Francisco for a while, and that was a nightmare - they'd snatch anything that wasn't locked in place - wheels, bike seat, etc. I once came back to find my light stolen!
