How do I fix a flat tire from a 26 bike?

Asked by lonrot (1points) July 29th, 2009

For me it´s very difficult to take out the tube from the rim, even with levelers, I´m quite strong, so I often end up breaking the levelers.
And when I try to put the tube back, well I simply can´t, even when its just an inch to finish the job.

You need to put some air in the tube before replacing , i use a spoon handle remember to add baby powder to inner tire .

Same problem here. I have it done at a local shop. It is like ten bucks. I spent a about an hour with it and said “fuck it.”
