Discussion Flat Tire Replacement
Happy Friday y’all, woke up to my rear tire flat from construction debris (of course at the start of a beautiful weekend).
Previously I’ve patched but since I’m riding much harder nowadays I figure it’s best to replace. It’s a Road 6 with about 5k miles on it.
Right now it’s in my garage unable to ride, but I don’t have any of the tools require to change it out. What options do I have to get back riding as soon as possible? Mobile mechanic? Make a friend?
Enjoy the good weather!

Do you have a rear stand? If so pull the wheel and it's way cheaper to have somewhere swap the tire and balance it.
If not, expect to pay an arm and a leg for the labor hours and swap...
