Probably can buy the inner tube and change it DIY?

Just need such tool to remove the tyres. Buy the above tool when you go to bike shops to buy the butyl inner tube. It's really a 5min job after doing it the 2nd time.

There's a bike shop (Google Lim Seng Kee Cycle) near Hong Kah North CC.  Basic repairs/tyres should be available.

For punctures I would just replace myself. Simple job.  In fact every bike part repair/replacement also DIY.

I have a few spare ones lying around. If the rim is not carbon. then 2 large flat screwdrivers can be used too.

@therock I have got one at home. Bought for my son only to realize that he has gotten himself one. Tried the bicycle downstairs once only. Got it at $370 and with some accessories totaling to about $400. If you are keen, private message me. Weighs 13 KG.

Thanks bro, it's very similar to my current bike, right down to the weight! 

In my case the front tire is flat, so I'm looking to fix it, unless you just want to sell the front tire, haha..

13kg really is too heavy... I swapped out the heavy suspension fork to a non suspension one on a old MTB to reduce the weight by about 15kg.
