Ok I posted something this morning about fixing a flat and it didnt work. So I was wondering if I could put a tube in the tire. It is the left front.Also the only tube I have here is a 16 ans the tire is a 20. Would that work? just for temporary?

I used a tube for quite a while in one of my tires and it worked fine. Should work OK in your front tire. Be aware that on rear tires, or all 4 of a 4x4, low pressure tires will creep on the rim under power and could eventually rip the stem off the tube. Mine was at a 45 degree angle after a couple years.
You also need to drill out the stem hole in your wheel to fit the bigger tube stem through it. I think the tire shop used an oversize stem when I put on new tires and got rid of the tube.
Hope this helps.

I have a tube in my front tire because I had about 10 holes in the tire itself (long p r i c k e r s, plus cheap Dunlop tires) I've had the tube in there for about 8 months, and it's working fine.

I have another question now, why did it keep putting in ***** in stead of the word p r i c k e r s ?!! why would that be bleeped out?!

LOL the automatic profanity deleter must have gotten it
Its one of the assets of the board.
But it did let me say assets so it must have a decent vocabulary.
I wonder if you could have said long *****lers

No the 'l' didnt help, guess next time use thorns
