One wheel on my wagon.......

Quick tip.

My wheels (which double as my computer chair) have inflatable tyres. Just like a bicycle.

Seems I have a double puncture :(

So I contacted the Mobility shop I bought it from, and I was amazed at how much it would cost for them to sort it out.

Had a chat with a mate, who said that like a bicycle, the size of the wheel - in this case a 37 - 5.40 or 24" x 1 3/8" is a standard size. He suggested a local bike repair shop would be cheaper.

Since I don't fancy levering off a tyre and replacing an inner tube myself, and as much as I'd love to see my Bear sweating over a hot tyre iron, (Phew, is it hot in here?) I got son-o-mine to give them them a ring.

Third of the cost.

All Bear has to do is nip down there on the bus with the wheels. Luckily my wheels have hit-the-button-and-pop-off wheels.

So now you know :)


I'll be back soon - I meant to post about aphasia - but the Stroke Association magazine Stroke News beat me to the punch with a short and excellent article it by another overcomer. Maybe laters :)
