Do you know you don't have to remove the wheel to repair a puncture ? Remove one side of the tire from the rim and pull the inner tube, then patch it.

- jacquesm 6y agoIndeed. The only time you remove the wheel is to replace the tires.
- xorcist 6y agoIsn't hard to find small punctures with the tube still stuck around the wheel?
- zrobotics 6y agoPartially inflate the tube after the tire is pulled aside, then run a mixture of soapy water over the tube. Sure, the tire is a bit in the way, but that is still less hassle than removing the wheel. The only real danger is that the tube needs to be treated carefully to keep it from snagging on things and causing more damage.
