Question:

Changing bike tube.?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

My back tire on my bike blew today. I got a new tube and everything, but the site on the box that said it had instructions didn't get me anywhere. And my dad's computer has a virus or something, so every time I click on a google search result I get a p**n site and other c**p. So I was wondering if someone could give me an actual site with the instructions, or explain it. I've never done this before. I have to work tomorrow so I can't wait for my uncle to fix it for me. Thanks.

    Don't forget to cover your tube lightly with talcum  powder so it can squirm inside the tire, and to check the rim  strip

    best


  2. you have to take off the wheel first of all.there's a special tool that you need to take the tire off. go to your bike shop and ask them for it. there cheap. maybe $1.  dig the tool underneath the tire and eventually it will come off. take the flat tube off and put the new one in the tire. find the thing that you pump in air and put it through the hole in the wheel. then use the tools to put the tire back on. then pump up the tube.

  3. here are some sites and also one video on it:

  4. basically you need plastic tools but IF YOU ARE CAREFUL and i mean CAREFUL, you can use a screwdriver but they can easiy puncture it.  um, basically just let out all the air in the tube in it now, you should be able to just pry the tire off the rim with your hands, and then check the little rubber slip that covers the spokes on the inside so those won't poke holes on your new tube, put a little bit of air in the tube to make it round put it in the tire put the tire on, you should be able to do the same thing you did to take it off until you have about a foot where it gets to tight and you can use a screwdriver and very carefully pry the tube back on and there you have it
