  • Great vid! Quick and to the point without cheating the repair (Using the powder, checking for alignment) I have a question for you. Tight tires on a 20 inch steel rim won't seat the bead properly. Any suggestions? Thanks again! 5 stars!

  • Sounds like you are dealing with a triple wall rim. Try wetting the bead with some soapy water, make sure the rim strip is not getting in the way, good luck.

  • @POPPASHANGO Sorry for the late reply but yes, it helps to spray the bead with rubbing alcohol allowing it to slip into place while inflating.

  • I watched all the flat repair how-tos and yours was easily the best (though I personally didn't dig the music). Thanks for making the video and please make more--how about how to put on pedals or properly adjust a headset and seat? Those are other things beginners might be interested in.

  • Thanks for the comments, sorry you didn't like the music. I have been planning to make more repair vids on how to true a wheel, adjust deraillers, rebuilding hubs and bottom brackets and all the little things, even how to work a presta valve.

  • you remind me of andrew dice clay

    but with bikes instead of jokes

  • I have heard that before, that's funny.

  • @VulcanBikeWizard Thanks for the info! Knowledge is infinite so no problem with the wait!

  • Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

  • good job with the instructions.

  • Could you please tell me what is the name of this song and who is performing it...?

    Thanks in forward!

  • step 1a file off stupid safety drop out nubs.

    should also balance air pressure to front and rear.

    I like to visually inspect for the injury and and match the tube to the injury so i know that i got the thorn or whatever punctured the tube, or if its a snakebite pinch to tell the rider to run higher pressure or lose weight.

  • Thank you!!!! Can you please do one for the back?

  • Quick and easy thanks

  • i just saw your viedo and i think your OLD..

    just call me ALWAYSaNOOB--but really.. you make it seem so easy. Im glad i finally found this site. So i could see a friend that I have never met. It was a pleasure watching on how to fix a flat in what 3 min. ALWAYSaNOOB Jeff Fouty
