The biggest problem you may incur, is having trouble removing the rear
wheel. Most people advise hanging the rear wheel over a curb or
something. Also, sometimes it is easier to install the rear tire devoid
of air. Then you have the problem of filling it after it has been
re-installed.
ALWAYS carry a spare tube!!!!!!!!!

I've diagnosed and fixed a few problems on my Eldo on the roadside - nothing too major. But one that looks really difficult (because I've never done it) is repairing a tube tire. Just what is involved in doing this job and what tools are required? I suspect a nice set of tire irons is required, patch kit and a way to inflate the tube. But is there a difficulty rating?
