    Urgent Help needed

    Hi lads,

    I got a damn puncture on my enfield, and as such I need to change the inner tube. Does anyone know where I could get it done? I would do it myself but I don't have the tools needed. I went around yesterday to Hing fat road to the tyre shop there, they said they couldn't help neither could the guys up in Caroline Hill road.

    Any ideas? My mate is coming over with his car in a few hrs I would love to get some input before.

    Thanks!

    "Inner tube"??

    Be sure to stock up on paraffin for your headlight while you're there!

    Lol,

    Mate the bike is from 1950, plus I do like the idea of having a inner tube, saves me the trouble of buying a brand new tyre if I have a bad enough puncture.

    Sure a bike one would do from any cycle shop? Just game the same diameter as your wheel and buy a set of tyre irons.

    Cheers MotoX I appreciate the help, got in touch with a friend of mine, he said there's a shop at 14 Glass street in CWB/NP they can do it. Did give them a call around 7:45 according to them they can take the tyre of a 19' rim and replace the tube, eh. Ill give them a try and see if they are able to do it otherwise I may have to go to Tom's to pick up your tyre levers!

    BTW is that a Enfield front disk break conversion in your picture?
