How To Fix a Flat Tire
If you need to repair a tire, follow these steps:
1.Remove the wheel from the bicycle.
2.Deflate the tire completely via the valve.
Loosen the tire bead by pushing it inward all the way around.
3.Press one side of the tire bead up over the edge of the rim. Note: Use tire levers, not a screwdriver, otherwise you may damage the rim.
4.Remove the tube, leaving the tire on the rim.
5.Locate the leaks and patch using a tube repair kit, carefully following the instructions, or replace the tube.
Note: Ensure that the replacement tube size matches the size stated on the tire sidewall and that the valve is the correct type for your bicycle.
