Where to take my back wheel?

[silvertonkate]

Hi - where's a good place to take my flat back tyre to get it looked at - preferably Exeter area?
Thanks

My first choice would be CMS.

I don't know Andys (mechanic) work time over the holidays.

Give Derek a ring 01392 467700 and mention my name

I have a plug kit if that helps.


EDIT. Have you checked it is not just a leaking valve
.

Thanks Andy have put some air in now the wheel is off & it's definitely not punctured or leaking valve, it's just along the rims so I'll take it in and get them to seal it back on.

Thanks

I have a friend who works at CMS too.

Another way to check a wheel:

Spray some washing up liquid around the rim (on the tire) and you should see bubbles.

or Fill the bath (or use a horse trough) and dunk the wheel in to see the bubbles.

With the amount of flooded roads around, we could park the bike in a shallow bit and look for bubbles. (saves taking the wheel off)

Youtube how to fit a motorcycle tyre, if you haven't done any structural damage by (jumping BRIDGES etc.) is it spoked or alloy, I fitted my rear tyre on my fzs i'm no mechanic, you just need a good shovel .

Well good luck with it anyway hope the little info helps.
