Having spoked wheels, we are forced to run tubes in our tires. Unless you have a spare tube and superhuman strength, tools to remove the wheel and a tire iron, you won't be able to change it yourself.

Sounds like a good time for you to download the manual on the forum here and do some reading. Should really know what all puts together that 2 wheel contraption under your butt.

I do change my own tires primarily because I want to know what is involved and what tools are required. I can change one with three tire irons and an air pump with the tools to get the wheel off of course. I've done this in my garage.

You can patch a tube to get home but you really need to change the tube and probably th tire as well. I carry tire irons, spare tubes, a patch kit and a 12VDC air pump on long trips. I've never had to use any of it out side my garage but I know how.

Not having a center stand makes tire changing tricky on the road.
