After removing my first one I was surprised at how simple, easy and quick
it was, I just wouldn't want to have to do it "out on the road". I have and
am
prepared to use the quick fix method already covered, then I think I'd have
my local shop take the tire off if I wasn't too far from home.

I've been lucky (watch what happens now!) so far and not had to face a flat
in an emergency/away from home situation. I carry a compressor as well.
