Tube replacement
1 . Release the valve cap and deflate the tube completely by pressing down on the
inner part of the valve.
2. Take a couple of tire levers (you can purchase these at your local bike store).
Ease one lever in under the wheel rim and lever out the edge of the tire (taking
great care not to puncture the inner tube) and pry it up over the wheel rim. Move
around the rim about an eighth of the circumference and repeat the process
again, leaving the first tool in place. Now zip the second lever around the wheel
and the tire should come right off on one side.
3. Push the valve into the rim and remove the tube completely.
4. Inspect the punctured tube to find the hole, determining whether the problem is
on the rim or tire side of the tube. Then check the tire or rim to determine the
problem. Either patch or replace the inner tube or replace your tube and tire.
5. If you change your tire check the tire wall for an arrow or similar to indicate the
direction of rotation - some tires have a "direction specific" tread pattern. Put
one side in first.
6. Ease the partially inflated tube into the tire and locate the valve in the hole in the
rim. Make sure that no part of the tube is sticking out.
