My local Les Schwab patched a Gen 1 tire for me once for free, and another time for about $10, but I got the distinct impression that they weren't very happy to do it. A motorcycle shop told me on the phone that they would do the job, but when they saw it was a plastic wheel, changed their mind for liability reasons.

It's probably best to do it yourself, making sure to have bandages and an extra tube or two handy, and wait a few hours to make sure you were successful.

I certainly don't mind paying them for their service, but I'm just not sure if they would even be willing to try.
