Remove Tires from Mountain Bikes

Knowing how to change a tire is a pretty useful trick and tip when it comes to being a mountain biker. Because, I mean, changing tires for preference is the same as changing tires when you get a flat. So, it's always good to be prepared and know how to do this. With this specific tire and wheel combination--we see that we have what's called a Presta valve. It's a thinner valve than what you'd find on a car. And instead of having a valve cap to keep it closed, there's a little threaded nut, which, as you can see--the valve is closed, if I push down on it no air comes out. Now I open the valve, and if I push down on it, air comes out. So I'm going to let all the air out. It takes a while. Sometimes it helps if I push down on the tire, to just let the air come out a little bit quicker. You can hear it still coming out. Looks like we're pretty good.
