Anyone know of any? Got home today and bike felt bloody awful, turns out I have a puncture in my rear tyre...thankfully made it home.

Unfortunately the bike is unridable (obviously) and I have no way of getting the rear tyre off to take it to be replaced due to having no Padock stands. So anyone know of any that can do same day?

Don't need a paddock stand. Is your bike in a garage/somewhere safe and do you have axle stands?

Have you tried pumping it back up? See if it will hold for long enough to get to a garage?

Is the tyre finished ie low tread ?,
imoho i would fill it up with the foam stuff and get it to a garage...
may even last/hold onto the pressure for a few days/weeks maybe...
