Where can I buy a new wheelbarrow wheel? Mine has a puncture. Seems mad to
buy a new wheelbarrow but I can't be fagged to fix the puncture.

Take the wheel/tyre to one of the tyre & exhaust garages, I have seen other
people do this with small tyres such as for trailers etc I am sure they will
be willing to kelp,give one a try.

I had one with an inflatable tyre, and was always patching it - even
hawthorn spines went through it. My dad took the wheel to one of the
tyre places and they put a proper tyre on it, and I've never had any
more problems with it.

Our local tyre place does them for nothing, if you leave them for a
day or so. Practice for apprentices without the risk of killing
anyone!

On my way to and from a Reunion in Scarborough the other weekend, I noticed
on the motorways, that the posts for the central barriers are held in he
ground with an expanded foam. Makes them easier to get out for repairs I
expect. My thought is, could a wheelbarrow wheel, be filled with this foam?
No more punctures :-))

If it is the same stuff used in lifeboats and other craft for both buoyancy
and noise deadening, it sets very firm, but can be worked with a knife or
saw. Just a thought :-))
