Yes it has a tube and yes you can fix it yourself if you have the tools and the brains

Careful not to scratch the rim or worse! Took my dealer over an hour to replace tyre & tube recently, even with the right kit, so be very patient. I suspect they put a trainee on the job. Luckily it all worked out OK.

I made myself one of these..
no tyre levers needed to put a tyre on..still need levers to remove it..
no scratching the rim .. its got a 17:1 ratio where levers ony give
you around 4:1... it can do rims sizes 17" to 21"..
Its really cheating as its so easy...

You can buy them..but they are not cheap... 99 euros
but even at that prise they are worth it if you do a few tyres
now and then...

VID.....of how they work..
