    Hi there,

    this morning at the petrol station (just there!) i got a puncture in the rear tyre of my 50cc scooter. It wont hold any air (gone within a minute). Rang Carole Nash and they sent me someone who picked it up and brought it home. While giving me a lift we were talking about repair etc he asked me if it is a tubeless tyre or a one with a tube. TBH: i have no clue but a few questions now.

    How do i check if it is with or without a tube?

    Can I take the wheel easily off and bring it to repair instead of pushing the heavy scooter for a km to the repair shop?

    How much would it be to get the wheel fixed?

    Thanks!
    TC

    why did 'nt you get the guy to bring it to the repair shop, if you ring the shop the will tell you wether it is tubeless or not, do not under any attempt try to take the back tyre off get it done professionaly

    ring repair shop near you and ask do they do a collection service if not you will have to check yellow pages to see if there is a company who pick up bikes, if you knew someone who had a truck or van with a tail lift they could bring it down for you good luck
