Last night, riding home from work, I had a flat tire (I’m not sure why yet). So I got to experience the fun of a flat tire that has a tube in it. Instead of a slow leak like most tubeless flats, this one was fast. And since fix-a-flat doesn’t work on tubes, all I could do was fill the tire, drive a bit, fill the tire again; I was only 3 miles away, so this worked out ok.

If my co-worker wasn’t available and since I was close to home, I could of called AAA, and hoped they could deal with a motorcycle. But my question is: if I get another flat far away from home, is it possible to change a tire on the side of the road? Also is there a type of fix-a-flat that works with tubes (I would assume not)? What does everyone do in this situation?

Thanks for the info.
