Help needed in Georgia

Sunday again, and I have a flat on the trailer.

It seems to be with the valve stem. Could use a place to drop the trailer until I can recover it next weekend.

Or a tire shop that is open on Sunday...

I am north of Atlanta moving very slowly south.

Update: just north of I-475.

Tony, Bushtec trailers uses a 3.00 x 16" tube. If you can get to a Cycle Gear in the Atlanta area, There are 5 of them in the Atlanta area, (4 on the north side) hours are 10AM to 5PM today

You should be able to get one put in. https://www.cyclegear.com/stores

Just now saw this post. Looks like he's back on the road and in Florida. What was his fix?

You do not want to know my fix...

Basically I rode the flat tire from just east of Nashville to

West Palm Beach. I just had to make a few adjustments.

Salvaged a bun burner 1500 for the miles toward my 100k.

Bushtec says their 6 ply tires can be treated as a run-flat, but I think it really depends on how much weight you have in the trailer.

True, the trailer was nearly empty and when the Florida heat kicked in, I had the tires thin. I then packed wash cloths that I use for helmet cleaning inside the tires to make sure they kept form and kept the rim off the road.
