I have a wheelbarrow with a small car-type tyre.

The wheel has gone flat - has a puncture.

How do I get it repaired? Kwik-Fit? Or will a set of bicycle tyre irons
and patches do the trick?


You might need bigger irons than bicycle ones. Motorcycle place?


I gave up trying to fix a puncture on my tubeless wheelbarrow tyre,
which turned out to be glued fast to the hub, and went for the
"solid" type. My supplier (chosen because they're Welsh!) was
http://www.wheelforwheelbarrow.co.uk/. Might work out cheaper than
getting all the stuff to repair an existing tyre.

Having looked at them I am very tempted. Thank-you.
