Help with flat Tyre

[TF_CriagH66]

My Penrose Barrow Platform wheel has completely deflated.

Can anybody advise where I can buy a replacement or inner tube?

most tyre repair places will be able to fix it.might have to wait a day or two if it needs a repacement innertube.

Have a look on e-bay mate.I bought a new inner tube for my barrow last year ,only cost about a fiver.

When i had a trolley with inflattabe tyres – i went to Halfords and purchased a can of the tyre inflator/foam stuff. Even though they had not got puntures, i filled them up anyway and they went on for years. They are still in the garage and i could use them now. Make sure all the air is out before you put the stuff in though.
I would not bother with replacement inner tubes. Can of that stuff = job done!

Sounds silly but if you try to inflate them at a gargage the nozil does not fit and deflates the tyre.The typr that fits the valve are the 12v compressors or the foot pump.Worth a try.I thought i would top my tyres up once at the garage.Luckily my mate had a ffot pump .

i take it is a one wheelbarrow if so go to B&Q and get a green wheel meant for wheel barrows they have solid tyre’s so no more flats.All my team use them say no more.

The tyre inflater cans with the liquid rubber are meant for car tyres where they are more likely to rotate at greater speed and run warm so that the rubber liquid evenly coats and sets. That stuff is next to useless when used on a barrow wheel that has thorn punctures and knackers the valve.

Ether get yourself a solid wheel as suggested or buy a replacement off ebay. In the long run less kerfuffle.

[TF_Paddy]

Nah, disagree with that Cutnut – Since i used that stuff, they have never gone down again. I have notused the trolley thay are on for ages, and its still fine.

Tried the foam in my rive tyres, no joy. I bought a pair of inner tubes off ebay for 8 quid.
