How do i put a wheel on a mountain bike?

Question

I cant manage to put the wheel back on the chain is confusing me.please help.

Answer 1

If the chain loop is still intact, put the wheel's axle in position where it is just about to enter the slots in the rear of the frame (the dropouts). Pick up the chain and loop it around one of the smaller gears in the rear wheel's cluster. Slide the axle in the rest of the way and tighten it up. Lift the rear of the bike and spin the pedals to make sure everything is working right. You might want to use a disposable glove to handle the chain if you care about getting gunk on your fingers.
