<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>How to repair a bike tire</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Nothing ruins a good ride quite like a busted tube. If you do get unlucky and wind up with a flat bike tire, fixing it is easier than you think. Don&rsquo;t worry, you got this.&nbsp;</p> <p>1.&nbsp;If your bike has brake pads, disconnect the brake from the wheel using the wrench.&nbsp;</p> <p>2.&nbsp;Now take the wheel off the bike.</p> <p>3.&nbsp;Unscrew the valve cap and deflate the tube. Empty it right out.</p> <p>4.&nbsp;Pinch the tire and insert the tire lever. It should come off pretty easily.&nbsp;</p> <p>5.&nbsp;Now hook the tire lever to flip the bead of the tire outside the rim.</p> <p>6.&nbsp;Now use the second tire lever in there and work around the tip, flipping the rest of the bead outside the rim.&nbsp;</p> <p>7.&nbsp;Once you&rsquo;ve got it outside the rim, pull out the inner tube.&nbsp;</p> <p>8.&nbsp;If you don&rsquo;t have access to a spare tube, you can patch up the tube you&rsquo;ve got. Find the hole, and use the abrasive pad to smooth out the rough surface, and then use the alcohol pad to clean the area.&nbsp;</p> <p>9.&nbsp;Let it dry for 30 seconds. Then apply the glue and patch, and leave that for about 30 seconds.&nbsp;</p> <p>10.&nbsp;Now, run your fingers along the inside of the tire to make sure there&rsquo;s nothing in there that could cause another puncture.&nbsp;</p> <p>11.&nbsp;Put a little bit of air in the tube to give it some shape.</p> <p>12.&nbsp;Now insert the valve stem into the hole of the rim, and begin to gently place the tube back inside the tire.&nbsp;</p> <p>13.&nbsp;Using only your hands, begin to work the bead back into the rim, moving from one side to the other.&nbsp;</p> <p>14.&nbsp;Once you&rsquo;re sure the tube isn&rsquo;t caught in the bead or the rim, inflate the tire to proper pressure and reattach it to your bike.&nbsp;</p> <p>And that&rsquo;s all there is to it. Now you&rsquo;re ready to hit the trails. We told you, you got this.&nbsp;</p>
