How To Fix a Flat Tire

2. Deflate the tire completely via the valve. Loosen the tire bead by
pushing it inward all the way around.

plastic tire levers, not a screwdriver, otherwise you may damage the rim
and tire.
4. Removethetube,leavingthetireontherim.
5. Locate the leaks and patch using a tube repair kit, carefully following the
instructions, or replace the tube. Note: Ensure that the replacement tube
size matches the size stated on the tire sidewall and that the valve is
the correct type for your bicycle.
6. Match the position of the leak in the tube with the tire to locate the
possible cause and mark the location on the tire.
7. Remove the tire completely and inspect for a nail, glass, etc. and
remove if located. Also inspect the inside of the rim to ensure there are
no protruding spokes, rust or other potential causes. Replace the rim
tape which covers the spoke ends, if damaged.

edge oward the center of the rim. Start from the opposite side of the
valve and work around the rim.
