Didn't you say awhile ago that you needed a back tire anyway???
hey, it's okay to ride on a tire full of fix-a-flat.....





if you want to ruin a tire, spend hours cleaning a rim, and possibly wreck and damage the bike and yourself. listen to what everyone has said and get a new tire and DON'T RIDE THE BIKE EVEN 2 FEET UNTIL YOU DO.

So they will make more money. It's a business, their out to make money. They don't care what your wheel looks like on the inside. Check the can to see if they put something like: "not responsible for damaged rims" or something along those lines.

hummmm i will do that


although it is proabably in small print
Bull, it's going to suck!

Oh, and don't forget... we get on your case cause we don't want to see you get hurt and wad up your bike!

But the guys at the shop will be talking about you for months...the problem is they may laugh at you... just be prepared...
Oh, by the way, that ish smells HORRIBLE. :puke:
so do i have them remove the tire and give me the rim, take it home and clean it (b/c they will charge arm and leg and proly wont do it right), then take it back and have them put the tire on??
If the s&!t has hardened, I doughty that they will even try to clean it.
If its still mostly liquid they probably will clean it for you. :skep:
Make sure you tell them it has it in it before they take it off or they may be real mad. :cursin:
That stuff stinks and is toxic.
Most will wear gloves to avoid skin contact.
That stuff will run a car wheel also. :cursin:

lol i can see the ppl at the shops faces now when you bring them a tire full of fix a flat. i personally would learn how to take the tire off yourself and just cut the tire off with a knife and clean it b4 you take it in. lol :here:

Just take it to them and tell them before they take the tire off the rim.
Don't tell them before they start working on it or they might refuse. Doughtful if you buy a tire from them.
well i have a auto teacher that might be able to help me out

should i have him do it if i can or do it professional
Good point... don't tell them till after! Then say ya ya... I know but I had no choice I was stuck on the side of the road!! That will sound better!

There is only 1 problem!! He will have to ride it there! Maybe he needs to get a rear stand and remove the wheel himself!!! DAMMIT Kids making all this a pain!!! :rant:

Take the bike to them...SLOWLY! Have them remove the wheel and the tire them take the rim home, clean it and have them put on a new tire.

Or buy a rear stand...remove the wheel...take it to them...they remove the old tire...you take the rim home and clean it...take it back to them and have them put on a new tire... take the wheel home and put it back on the bike...

The last one might be a bit much for ya though...
