Title: How to Change a Bike Tire on a Mountain Bike


1
How to Change a Bike Tire on a Mountain Bike
2
Turn the mountain bike over onto its back
In other words, position your mountain bike in
such a way that the seat and handlebars are on
the ground and the 2 tires are in the air. The
tires should be able to spin freely without any
resistance.
3
Remove The Faulty Tire From The Mountain Bike
  • Your tire will be kept on the axle by 2 nuts, 1
    on each side, and these nuts will need to be
    loosened and removed.
  • Depending on the make of your mountain bike, you
    may also need to undo a quick release lever on
    the side of the tire.
  • Disengage the brake cable before pulling out the
    tire from between the brake pads.

4
Remove The Tube From The Rim Of The Wheel
  • Locate the valve stem for air input and choose a
    spot on the opposite side of the wheel. Using the
    beveled end of a tire iron, separate the tire
    from the wheel rim and latch the iron onto a
    spoke.
  • Repeat with a second tire iron approximately 1
    inch (2.5 cm) away from the first tire iron. Keep
    doing this around the wheel until you can fully
    remove the tube from inside.

5
Check and clean the inside of the tire for debris
6
Locate the holes or tears in the tube
To find the holes, you can submerge the tube
under water and look for bubbles, or you can pump
up the tube and listen for any air leaks. If a
hole is located on a seam or ridge along the
tube, the tire patch may not hold well and the
tube will be irreparable. In that case, you'll
have to purchase a brand new replacement tube.
7
Patch the holes using the bike tire patch kit
Roughen the areas of the tube around the holes
using sandpaper. Apply a glue-less patch to the
tube firmly, covering and sealing the hole as
tightly as you can.
8
Wait a few minutes for the patch to bond to the
tube.
9
Test to see if the patch has held well
Pump up the tube slightly and see if there are
any air leaks with the new patch. If there are,
you may need to try again and apply a new patch,
or the tube may be too damaged and you'll need to
purchase a new one
10
Place the tube back into the tire
Starting with the valve stem, insert the tube
back into the tire. Make sure the valve stem is
centered correctly or else it could end up being
damaged with future use.
11
Secure the tire into your bike frame
12
Pump Up Your New Tire
