dude, Thought you were from the border of driftless meets glaciated, so ... I think you are searching for German?

Man, I'm sorry! I get so used to posting in Englisch gesucht for my translations that it's force of habit. :-/

Thanks for the answer!

It's off topic, but I highly recommend just buying the new inner tube. I'm a staunch anti-patcher. The new inner tube is worth the money. *sirbikesalot*

@ cryme:
Das ist kein Widerspruch: Wenn Du im Wald mit deinem Hollandrad 'nen Platten hast, brauchst Du trotzdem Flickzeug. Den Schlauch kannst Du dann getrost zu Hause tauschen.

Wenn es kein Hollandrad ist, kann man sich die doppelte Arbeit aber sparen.

Stimmt auch wieder. Der Kontext wird dadurch klarer. Danke, Ludwig.

Merke gerade codero sein/ihr Eintrag ... ich sehe es eher so wie codero.

Kenne mich gar nicht mit "Hollandrad" aus.

Hermarphromoose, worum geht's? Enquiring/Inquiring minds want to know ...

Don't leave us with a flat. Which inner tubes and/or tires do you use?

With these old-fashioned "roadster" bikes, it is a pain to remove the rear wheel.
That's why it often makes sense to try and patch the inner tube by just drawing it out to the side.

It makes sense on paper. I guess it just depends (up)on the radius of cycling, i.e., if you are a hard-core city biker, trying to get around an urban area, to get to work, or you are a biker who bikes 25-30 miles to get a workout, and it's more of a sport.

It's actually my daughter's little Laufrad, so getting a new tube would assumedly not be as easy as with a normal-sized tire (and possibly more expensive than would even be worth it? I've never bought a new tube before, either for a regular-sized bike or for a kid's one.).

In Germany, it is usually possible to buy specialized parts online (eg. through eBay) and at reasonable prices.

Conversely, it is increasingly difficult to find a well-stocked shop that carries this kind of item.
But any "Baumarkt" or large supermarket will sell me a puncture repair kit.

EDIT: This is turning into a "Land und Leute" kind of discussion.
