Flat Tyre :(

    I've got a flat tyre on my Honda Innova. I discovered it this morning, to my horror, but I didn't have time to investigate - late for work.

    This is a first for me so what's the normal way to handle it? Should I try to mend it as if it were a bicycle? I imagine that would be quite difficult. I suppose I'll have to pop the back wheel off and take it somewhere. I live in Dublin 6.

    Advice?

    This happened to me only a few weeks after I started driving. I got stuck out in blanchardstown shopping center. I bought a puncture repair kit and done it myself.

    1 month on and its going fine.

    But if you have no experience doing it, then just bring the wheel to a garage and let them at it.

    Bikeworld have some fancy tyre repair canister that you spray into your tyre. I don't know if I would trust it though. But maybe its good for emergencies to get you to a garage.

    Tubed tyres don't work with that spray in stuff and it makes a hell of a mess inside the tyre, which the fitter will probably charge you to clean off.
    Just take the wheel off and bring it in to a bike shop that can change tyres.
    If you got a couple of levers and a spare tube they might show you how to change the tube, its not hard on a small tyre like the innova and may be useful in the future.

    Thanks. I think I'll leave it to the pros this time. I'll buy a kit from them while I'm at it. Very annoying indeed.
