I know this is really stupid, but I've got a puncture in my wheelie tyre...and have failed to fix it....

Any advice on either repairing - or where do you buy spare wheels?

Local tyre garage repairs mine for me with a patch on the innertube.

You can buy new inner tubes on the internet but if you can't get the wheel off thats not much help. Apparently Kwikfit can repair them if you go along and do the useless female bit (or in your case hedgehog although I'm not sure that would work as well

Are you implying that I've been careless with my spines?
I may try threatening KwikFit or similar....

The spray can be got at most petrol stations, think you spray into into the valve and it seals and blows up the wheel.
 
If you get the inner tube repaired or replaced, make sure you find & remove any sharp bits that may be embedded in your outer tyre (like the thing that caused the puncture in the first place). If you don't do this, as soona s you use the barrow the sharp thing will re-puncture your inner tube again. And how do I know this.......?

LOL! This one works a treat. I got my ex bf to fix mine. He even picked it up and dropped it off!

Perhaps this works for you...but I'd have a lot more luck scaring people than smiling sweetly, believe me.

Well it was either that or it has been sabotaged by PNE! We all now she has a fondness for crimes involving wheelbarrows!

Good point! You think PNE has been gnawing through my tyres? I must accuse her randomly!

Is that the one on the way into Dymock with the old trucks?
I take it you're not going to confess to gnawing it then?

Bother, you found me out

Sorry, its my wheelbarrow fetish coming out again...

No, the one in the middle of the village on the left hand side, where the post office is etc and the petrol pumps, just before the new houses they are building. Nice man there, can't remember his name, but he mended my wheelbarrow puncture for me and I know V takes hers there

Hi
I got both my wheelbarrow tyres (aren't I the luck one having two
grin.gif
) replaced by trailer (sp) tyres (from local tyre fitters), which so far have been puncture resistant against the dreaded Blackthorne bushes and their spikes (well over 2 years now, and used to have one out of action constantly). I sometimes complain as they do not have so much bounce, but I am quickly put in my place by being told "would you rather have a puncture!"

Your post impresses me for a number of reasons;
1. You have 2 wheelbarrows (riches beyond belief)
2. You seem to be joywheeling over Blackthorn - why?
3. You can engage in conversation with said wheelbarrows, and they reply with the comment about punctures!

Wheelbarrows can engage their owners in a variety of interesting conversation topics when required if treated well. This, in fact, was the reason for my first foray into the world of wheelbarrow fetishism - perhaps you aren't nice enough to yours, letting them get punctured

Guilty. Two of mine are punctured, and two are developing holes in the metal...through the corrosive action of manury rain. No wonder they don't talk to me....
When you're next 'up close and personal' with mine, perhaps you can relay my apologies as you gnaw?
