“Ah, no. Its really not that simple.”

Its not?

OK, why is it so complicated to fix a puncture? I have repaired one on my LAA aircraft (perfectly legally). The only problem I had was breaking the tire seal on the carbon rim which required a great deal of care so as not to damage the rim. There were certain criteria regarding the tightness of bolts etc but it was not much harder than a bike.

Just out of interest, what would you charge to work your magic?
