[QUOTE="Cabot, post: 1295133, member: 79941"] Your rim strip broke. You need a new rim strip or else you will pop tubes. If your tire doesn't hold air, your going to have to replace the tube. You can do this yourself if you have some good quality, long tire irons, which aren't that expensive. But it is kind of difficult (but yet very possible) if you've never done this before and if you have nothing to keep the wheel inplace. If you can't find a rim strip easily, I've found that electrical tape a couple times around to cover the spoke nipples, or even duct tape split so its not too wide works good. You can bring it in if you want (if the wheel is off the bike it will save you alot of $), but if you don't do it yourself your never going to learn! Also if you only have an owners manual, I would highly suggest getting a Clymer Shop Manual. This will explain how to do basically everything to your bike, remove it, inspect it, install it, etc. Mine also has a good portion on changing tires/tubes. [/QUOTE]
