Thank God for YouTube n the people who post these videos! I got my very first adult bike n its been flat, an thanks to this video I was able to change the inner tube on my own! Thanx for posting the video lots of help!!!! =D
i have question..when i insert the inner tube into the tire and lets say its already placed. It looks as tho there is part of the tire being lifted up by the inner tube its a 700c innertube. arnt all 700c inner tubes supposed to fit the rim?
@santerre1974 Yeah if you're an idiot. I use butter knives all the time and not once have I damaged my inner tube. They aren't exactly very sharp ya know...
Excellent tutorial, very professionally done. thank you! If I can have the audacity to add a little tip to the end of the video, remember NOT to inflate the tyre fully at the end of the procedure as it may then be impossible to get through the brake pads when you are putting the wheel back on the bike. If you leave it flat it will easily feed through the brakes and you can inflate it all the way once it is in position.
@0601989m Or an easy way to get round this is if you do pump up the innertube before you put the wheel back on and if you have the old cheaper v brakes (Like I do) then just push the top of the brake levers inwards, release the top wire then it goes in nice and easy.

i need a solution to my problem. i just bought some new tyres for my bike, there continental race king tyres, 26" by 2.2". i used them for a short while and during a ride i got a flat tire.thinking it was just a puncture i went to fix it but what had happened was that the valve on the inner tube has been pulled off. what i have found out is that as i ride my bike the inner tubes move and get ripped off when they cant move anymore. is there any solution to this?. also i pump my tire up to 35psi.
It is a good idea to inspect the tread and remove any small stones that have become lodged between the tread blocks, since you cannot feel them when running your fingertips along the inside of the tire, but they can punch through the ply and nick the tube, when going over a bump.
Say the puncture in the tube is 5 cm to the left of the valve. It may be 5 cm to the left OR the right on the tyre because the tube has 2 ways of being placed.
Of course you should also make sure that you didn't drag the tyre while operating it over the rim, so really, come to think of it, ideally this could be the first thing you do immediately after taking the tube out., to be sure everything was still in the original place. ;-)
Make sure your tube is pumped not too little so as the tire won't fit into the rim at all, or too much that you can't pry it in. Using something (like as a lever in the shape of a 'L') to lift the lip of the inner tire into the rim is HIGHLY recommended.
if your tire tread(the thing that goes over the innertube)has metal wire built into it then good luck replacing it like he did you will get about 3/4 done no problem and the last 1/4 is impossible without atleast 3 tire leavers!!
I used tyre leavers and pinched the tube. I have since seen a video on youtube that uses a method a bit like wringing out a wet towel where you place your thumbs under the rim and keep rolling the last bit of tyre away from you. This eventually works. Good luck!
Depends entirely on the tyre, PowerInnFilms. Maybe with a low pressure MTB tyre you can get away with one but with high pressure road tyres, no way. Anyhow, what's the big problem with using more? Some kind of dumb macho concept, I suspect.
if you have a wheel with axle nuts use a wrench, righty tighty, lefty loosy, if you have the quick release flip the release and unscrew the nob on the other end about 2 times around, if your tire is fatter than your rim there is a quick release on your brakes undo that and pull out your wheel, its real easy, not trying to be rude but use common sense with it, trial and error.
I looked for an object or whatever could have created the puncture on the inside of the tire as instructed and checked the old inner tube for the location of the puncture, but couldn't find anything.
Now that same tire is going flat again. Is there something else that could be wrong, or do I just need to look harder for the source of the puncture?
Good informative video but I would add one important thing. Firstly pump tyre to around 40psi if road tyre , then spin wheel & observe if bead is neatly seated in rim . If the tyre is sitting high on the rim seat further into the rim & visa versa if the tyre is sitting low. At low pressure it should be easy to set the tyre in it correct position then pump tyre to correct pressure. Finally at recommended pressure spin again to make sure everything is fine to continue riding.
Very useful. The first time I spent an hour and my tube exploded (see the bit about not letting the valve catch against the tube), then I watched this, then it took 5 minutes and worked :)
might be worth mentioning that its a good idea when checking the tyre for damage to pinch it as sometimes you can get small embedded bits of glass, stone etc that arent visible straight away.
I've just put a pair of flexible rim tyres (Specialized chunder pro) onto my bike - it all looks fine but they both wobble. The wheels on their own don't look offset, any ideas?

Elliot137 2 years ago
Yes, check the tyre as you may have missed the object that caused the puncture.
Most likely is that you have pinched the new tube as you were fitting the tyre onto the rim and caused a new puncture.
Check the wheel rim. Is there a jagged edge?
Also check that the rim tape is intact. Sometimes frayed tape can cause punctures and allow spokes to poke through.
It could also be that the replacement tube was faulty. Did you check it as instructed in the video?
Good luck!

try this :
fill your bath or sink about half full
take your burst inner tube and a bicycle pump to your bath
pump up your inner tube ( do it fast so not allot of air escapes)
then place the inner tube under water
where the puncture is, air bubbles will come out !
HOPE THIS HELPS :)

It turns out the problem was something completely idiotic--I just hadn't put the cap back on the valve tight enough.
