Replacing an innertube
We recommend you always carry a spare innertube when out on your bike. Puncture repairs are ok for an emergency x, but an
inproper repair or too many repairs may cause the innertube to fail, resulng in you losing control and falling.
Remove the wheel from the
bicycle, you can follow the wheels
secon of this manual if you have
are unsure on how to do this.
Let all the air ouf the tube.
Then insert two tyre levers
between the rim and the tyre to
prise the tyre o the rim, before
removing the innertube from
inside the tyre.
Pump just enough air into the
new tube for it to slightly take
shape, and insert it in the tyre.
Before pung the tyre back on
the rim, ensure the valve goes
through the hole in the rim
provided
Always check that the rim tape is
even around the rim and check
the rim for any damage.
Replace the tyre one side at a
me or it will become very ght.
Once it is almost all the way on,
you can use your tyre levers to
force back in place.
Remember to pump the wheel
up to the recommended pressure
seng.
Note: Never use screwdrivers
in place of tyre levers as sharp
edges may dammage the rim.
You can however use the handles
of metal kitchen spoons as long
has these no have sharp edges.
