my barrow has a flat tyre, any suggestions where I can get a new inner tube? just tried halfords - no luck.  I see them on ebay but would rather not wait days, I have green waste to dispose of over the weekend.

it's labelled 4.5-4/8 - I can see replacement tubeless wheels but they cost almost the same as a new barrow.  If I tried kwik fit would they laugh?

cycle shops? quick-fit or any other tyre company should stock them , also most builders merchants.
You couldn't make it up!

Will a bicycle puncture repair kit not suffice?  Save you some pennies, and you still have to take it apart......

Get some green slime (£10 or so from Halfords) and inject it into the inner tube. That'll fix your puncture, and deal with future ones. It lasts a good couple of years.

I get mine from the local builders merchants

A "proper" hardware merchant?....

My wheelbarrow has no tyres, just an iron rim, and works perfectly well. Cut your tyres off.
