Inner tube has gone on my cb250, is this something i could replace myself, i'm pretty handy with a spanner, but never had a bike with tubes before.
Ive seen the tyre levers that you get, (generally motorcross?) would it be possible? Or are motorcross tyres made of a more flexible rubber to allow changing tubes in the field?

A couple of yer' Mam's best spoons and yer' sorted... ;D If you've ever fixed a puncture on a push bike then it's the same principle, just everythings a little bigger.... A decent set of tyre levers and some lube for refitting the tyre rim are a must (you'll only need to remove one side just for an inner tube). Just be carefull you don't 'pinch' the new innertube when re-fitting the tyre. |
