Hi Nealh thanks for your reply, and yes I have felt all along both sides of the rim, as I have the tyre off the wheel. so just checking both rims of wheel is easier now. I have also again felt the inside sides and centre of tyre. but will try to turn tyre inside out, But doubt I can as its...

Bit of a distaster. New tube arrived today. fitted it as got strong levers now but it wasnt easy as tyre so strong to lever on and off. tried pumping it up. But it didnt seem to much. removed tube. and checked it in water dam a bloody hole in tube, Now I cant prove it was done before I fitted...

If you think about it how could I have possibly done that with a screwdriver. When tyre was punctured before I attempted to remove tube No 100% as the tyre was going down before I even attempted it. Yes I did use a screw driver but it was just at edge of rim near valve so to see if I knew...

Yes its on the side of tube, But this is the 1st time since Ive had moped Ive got a puncture, and no I have never taken tube out before. look at image in #223 post

Well I have asked in 3 cycle shops none have tubes 16 x 2.50 size and I just took a quick search on ebay and didnt see any. Unless I am not looking in correct places My mistake I wasnt searching right. this should be ok yeah...

The tyre levers arrived today it wasn’t too bad getting tyre off and get the tube out. I pumped up tube tried it in water couldn’t see no bubbles at 1st. So pumped up tube a lot more then found hole it was bubbling slowly so quickly marked tube. I must be unlucky as there is no more places on...

Hi no not yet as I’m still waiting for some strong tyre levers to arrive plus sealant hopefully should be tomorrow. Will let you know when it’s all fixed

Ok update on moped back wheel I have removed it, and also removed the motor, so hopefully now It will be much easier to take off tyre to check tube and also inside tyre. its a lot lighter with motor removed, and if I cant get tyre off using strong levers. and will also protect the rims too. I...

Well I think once I have removed wheel and everything else. I maybe able to remove tube, and patch it. if not will of course take it to a tyre place. But like I said there is a lot to do to get wheel off, But hey I have done it several times now. so Im keyed up on removing the motor from...

Yes it is loose, so obvious its a tube. But I am going to have to remove wires at junction board to motor. Which is under the seat so that also has to be removed. chain has to come off, wheel nuts etc. then also will have to remove motor from wheel, as cant do much with motor inside tyre. plus...

Well the only tyre levers I have are just for a normal bike. I will see how I get on when I have wheel off. I was hoping that sealant would fix my tube what Nealh suggested what is used on tractors. Will see what Nealh says

Well Im not 100% yet but it does seem the tyre has a tube, but its so hard to lever off near valve. I tried a long screw driver. but still cant see enough. so looks as if Im gonna have to remove wheel etc. the tyre says 16x250 But I dont know if I will cause damage to rim but trying a long...

Well I have never added any sealant to tyre as of yet, thats if it is a tubeless tyre, which seems it could be, well since Ive had moped. and never had a puncture in it either. But will know once I have got moped up to my flat 2 flights of stairs, But brother will help me. its ok taking it...

Ok thanks Gliggsy will check tyre when I have it in my flat. say it is tubeless do I have to remove the tyre and check inside and also outside as I think its a bit different to tube tyres. then use what Nealh suggested, as that seems very good, as it says >>>> The sealant remains active...

ok thanks

So the tyre can be taken off using normal levers or would I have to have special levers

Ive never fixed a Tubeless tyre before anyway. so you think my moped tyre is tubeless. and you say I need special tools to take off tyre. or do I just look around tyre for a punture hole as thats going to be hard, as especially if its slow going down that sealant looks real good made from...

Hi Nealh whats TL tyre set up. does TL mean Tubeless, as Im not sure if the tyre is Tubeless. also whats cheaper tractor gunk sealant

So how do I get home then if say I get a puncture 6 miles from home as no way can you push moped even a few yards. mind you if I tried pumping it up 1st, to get me home. but if say its a big puncture and even if you pump it up and it only lasts a few yards. well you dont have a choice then as...

Ive decided as moped is at mine now with flat. I will try to fix it. but if I am say 6 miles from home no way can I walk all way home pushing moped. so will use the foam fixes not slime mind you, just to get me home then fix punctures
