To change a flat bike tire, follow this step-by-step guide: 1) Remove the wheel. 2) Deflate and take out the inner tube. 3) Check for damage and patch if needed. 4) Install a new tube or fix the old one. 5) Reattach the tire and wheel. Refer to safety tips and watch a video tutorial for help.
Next, use the tire lever to pry the tire away from the rim. Insert the lever under the tire bead and slide it around the rim to loosen the tire. Once the tire is off, take out the flat inner tube. Check the tire for sharp objects or damage before inserting the new tube.
Position the new tube in the tire, aligning the valve with the hole in the rim. Gently push the tire back onto the rim, ensuring no kinks or twists. Inflate the new tube using the pump until it is firm but not overly tight.
Reattach the wheel to the bike and secure it tightly. Finally, give the tire a quick spin to check that it is properly mounted.
With your flat bike tire changed, it’s time to consider preventive measures. Explore strategies to avoid future flats and ensure smooth rides ahead.
