Step to replace a inner tube of bike

  1. Remove the entire bicycle wheel from the bike.
  2. Release all the air inside the tube by activating the valve.
  3. Remove the tire from the rim. Place the tire lever between the rim and the tire and pry the edge of the tube from the rim. Insert the second tire lever about two spokes over and pry more edge of the tire from the rim. Continue until you can easily pull the inner tube out of the tire.
  4. Release the valve on the inner , which is held to the rim with a circular nut. Pull the old inner tube out of the tire.
  5. Pump two or three times into the new inner tube until it is doughnut-shaped.
  6. Line up the valve from the tube with the hole in the rim. Place the new tube in the rim and push the valve about half way into the hole of the rim. Lightly secure the valve with the circular nut.
  7. Lay the wheel flat on a table and begin to push the tire into position onto the rim. The tube should fit inside the tire. Work your way all the way around the wheel until the tire is in place.
  8. Pull the valve all the way the valve hole in the rim through the tire. Tighten the nut
  9. Pump air into the tire and inspect to make sure the tube is evenly placed onto the rim and not pinching between the tire and the rim. If you spot a bulge or flat spot in the tube, let the air out and fix it by pushing it into position
  10. Inflate the tire to recommended pressure and install back on to your bike.
