How to Replace a Bicycle Tire Tube

Hi! This is Mike on behalf of expertvillage.com. For more information about bicycle maintenance please visit Prairie Path Cycles in Winfield, Illinois or visit our website at www.prairiepathcycles.com. Okay so now that you have the old tube out of your tire and you have got your new tube ready to got the first thing you want to do is put a little air in the new tube that way it gives it a little bit of shape and it is a little bit easier to put inside of the tire. So you just put a little of bit of air, doesn’t need to be a lot, just something to give it a little bit of shape to it. So once you have your new tube and you have got a little bit of air in it now the first thing you are going to want to do is put the valve through the valve hole in the rim. Once you do that you want to make sure the tire gets over the tube and then push in the tube up into the tire so it seats itself inside there. Once you do that you are going to want to start putting the bead of the tire back on over the rim so just use your thumbs and pressing against the bead of the tire putting that over onto the rim. And depending upon what kind if tire you have and may be a little harder and you may need to use your tire levers to put the tire back on as well and then once you have it all in there and it is good to go just put a little bit of air in there and then back on your bike and you are ready to ride.
