how do you remove a bike with disc brakes on?
-
I'm really confused. When you get a flat is it because of the inner tube or the tire or both? How can you know whick one it is? How to I know the size of the wheel and inner tube? Please help. Also are their any tires that are super thick that don't puncture easily? Thanks

thank you. I was having trouble with the tire being in the wrong place. the tire would wobble and ride into the brake pads. is there a way i can fix that?

This tutorial is superb and so is the other one that shows how to repair a flat. I learned a lot, thanks.
Yes. You will have to release the brake cable by loosening the anchor bolt.

My bike is old. It has a side-pull brake with an anchor bolt... no fancy quick-release levers. As far as I know, this is the most common type of brake on a bike (unless you have a brand new fancy bike), yet I have found no instructions anywhere on how to release this kind of brake. Do I have to loosen the anchor bolt with pliers and actually remove the cable from it?

Some bikes have the quick release lever near the brake lever, so be sure to check there. Some older bikes have road brakes that do not have a quick release lever to move the brake arms apart. If this is the case, you will have to let air out of the tire to squeeze the tire past the brakes. Then wait to re-inflate the tire until you have the wheel back on the bicycle. Although it seems like a lot of work, it's easier than releasing the brake cable and readjusting it when you put the wheel on.
