A flat tire is the number one bike problem on playa, and it sucks to lose a whole day of your burn huntin down a repair camp.

I walk through the whole fix on a 26" beach cruiser bike, pull the wheel, swap the tube, put it back on plus the tube inspection that tells you why it went flat so you don't just get another one.
