Bicycle Rear Wheel Removal and Replacement

[AeroRider714]

Nicely done, but you're assuming that we all know what all those little parts are that you're referring to. I still have no idea how to change my back tire after watching this video. How do I take the brakes off? You need to do close up shots of what you're doing and stop assuming that we know the names of all the parts. You started this video with the brakes already off the bike, which just MIGHT be an important part of the whole process...ya think?

needs more zoom into the gear area so I can see whats going on. I'm new to fixing bikes and I have no idea whats happening here/

[carzorthade]

[JordanMedina]

Thank You!!

[Curry952]

one of the best and most clear videos i've seen so far! Thank you!

[aegiswings]

Every single video on youtube shows how to remove a rear wheel that has a quick release wheel which is trivial. My wheel is NOT quick release, plus it has a rear drum brake, internal gearing, and has a belt instead of a chain and I can't find any info on how to remove the rear wheel anywhere!

[rileyjsg]

@aegiswings me too, it's frustrating to try and find such a video!

[ugcheleuce]

@aegiswings Yes, I'm having the same problem. At least I have external gears, but I also have a drum brake and no quick releases on the axle. The tip to put the bike in the smallest gear is a good tip nonetheless. Still, how about a video for people who don't have quick release brakes, quick release wheels and quick release brains?

Wuh-heel.

Very helpful. I wouldn't have been able to remove and replace my tire without this video. Well, I could have, but it would have been a monumental pain in the ass! Thank you sir.

Hi Kevin. Very useful video, thank you.

[MrCustard6]

Thanks Kevin. Bought my bike 3 years ago. Never had a puncture but always weary of it happening to me one day. Well it happened. Successfully replaced my rear wheel with a new tube after watching your video. Dare say without a hitch. Criticism of not showing that the brake should be removed first is a bit unfair. It's obvious even to a novice like myself.

Not every bike has a "quick release" for the rear wheel. I have a mountain style bike that was given to me recently, which needs new tubes and some other work. The front and back wheels both have nuts on either side.

A friend of mine rides a bike similar to the one shown in the video. There's no quick release on that one either. Admittedly, they're older bikes, so maybe all new ones have the quick release, however not everyone has a new bike.

Thanks for the comments. The brakes are adjusted so they don't need to be released for the tire to clear. It is close, but on many bikes it won't clear so I agree that should have been mentioned.

Regarding the zoom, good suggestion.

[gruffydd1000]

No mention of releasing the brakes. The tyre won't clear if you don't.

[pashley1411]

the camera is wayyyyyy too far back to see what is going on and be useful. Less of his haircut, more of the gears. By alot. He can zoom in at the beginning but doesn't do so later.

Thanks a lot. This video is very useful.
