i have come accross what seems to be a ****ed tyre!
wont pump up, wont even begin to hold pressure.... cant seem to find a nail, glass, anything that may have caused it, how hard is it to pull the back wheel off and put in a tube? is is worth doing to the front also?

i would say you have rippd the valve off
usually the result for when you dont run a rimlock
it can be hard, i suggest you find a mate and get some flat screw drivers or tyre levers

yea a shop will change it for $15-$20, saves you aLOT of ****ing about, it's pretty hard to do. get a kenda heavy duty tube and a rimlock so it doesn't happen again. I you don't get a rimlock keep your rear tire pressure around 25-30psi
