[@Snetzelsnetzalsnetzul]

My exact problem

[@ptbietz]

how do you verbal say anything?

[@expert25]

@@ptbietz What he's saying is that other youtubers don't demonstrate other problems such as the various types of things sticking into the tube or how a tube can be improperly seated. They probably say "if your tube is not seated correctly, do this". This KZbinr actually demonstrates with both verbally and video snippets. I hope this helps clarify.

[@BikeYoga]

💯 The thoroughness of it allowed me to discover that I had a leak at my valve. This told me exactly how I bust the tire (improper inflating) & told me exactly what I needed to do to avoid doing it again. Thank you PackTool!

Couldn't agree more with your comment Chantel. it was a delight watching it. No hand held 'I'm too stingy to buy a tripod' shaking camera, no heavy breathing behind the camera like the presenter is about to have a heart attack, no giggling behind the camera, no focus problems, no rambling, no dirty dingy garage, no some random cat walking in the shot and then the presenter goes off in a tangent about the cat and no "Editing??? what is this pagan magic you speak of???? Editing, never heard of it" A very good video, with subtle humour, like 'find out what caused the puncture" and there is a massive bolt thru the tyre

Thanks. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out the difference between a tire and a tube, even with reading multiple articles and spending a lot of time staring at my bike. It made no sense and it was so frustrating 😂. Then I figured a good visual aid would help. Took me half the video, and then it clicked. Ohhhh! That makes sense! It’s a good thing too. I realized today my tires (or tubes I guess) aren’t holding air and go flat in minutes. Not very surprised, I took my bike with me on a 6 month RV trip across the country with a cheap bike rack. But now I know I should only need to replace the tubes. Which is great cause I really like my tires. We’ll see how long they can last (if they are still lasting). 🤗

genuinely really appreciate the time you took to go through the different punctures and how and why they happen. i watch a lot of baking/cooking videos and my pet peeve is when they say 'dont do x or y will happen' and there are 0 examples (in their video or uploaded by anyone else) of what they're telling you what to watch out for. going through all the scenarios of how a tire pops and overinflating the tire to show the exact type of pop you'll experience is incredibly informative

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Great demo and excellent instructions. Please avoid music it distracts from voice. Here are my notes so everyone can have a copy for reference: How to Change Bicycle Wheel Tube and Rim Tape 1. Deflate tire entirely as per valve stem methods: Presta, Schrader, Dunlop valve stems. 2. Remove tire using tire levers. 3. Remove tube and rim tape 4. Inspect tire for puncture wounds - if any cuts went through the tire, replace tire. 5. Inspect tube and valve stem (if reusing it) else discard. 6. Clean wheel rim with soap and water and let dry. 7. Stick the rim tape on inside of wheel rim covering up the spoke nipples. Pick right size and type! 8. Inflate new tube and check for leaks in tube and valve stem in water. 9. Partially deflate tube and insert into tire, lining up the valve stem with PSI info marked on tire, for ease of refilling. 10. Check tire for arrow marking > or < showing direction of tire rotation. 11. Line up wheel rim with tire based on direction of rotation. 12. Insert valve stem into wheel rim. Make sure it sits up straight not at an angle or it will pierce the tube beneath it. 13. Deflate tube completely. 14. Work tire back onto wheel rim working one side at a time using fingers. 15. Do same for other side of tire, making sure that tube is pushed back inside tire as you go along edge. 16. Use tire lever to finish last bit - very carefully - so you don’t puncture tube inside. (It helps to sand down sharp edges of plastic if any on tire lever or use one with rounded edges.) 17. Rotate tire and visually check to see if tube is properly seated inside tire on both sides and tire is beaded (inside rim) all the way. 18. Partially inflate tire and check again to see if tube is seated properly on both sides and not peeping out of rim and that tire is also beaded right tucked inside the wheel rim. 19. If not right, deflate tire, and fix issue. Partially inflate again and check. Repeat this step until both tube and tire are seated and beaded correctly. 20. Use soapy water to lubricate and facilitate beading of tire (seating properly inside rim). Do not use oily lubricants! 21. Once tire is beaded right, check PSI marking next to valve stem and inflate tire to this pressure, taking care not to overinflate. If tire pops out of rim, repeat above steps. Usually front tire is slightly less inflated than rear tire so as not to bounce when you ride. 22. Presta valve stem - Tighten the lock nut at tip of valve first. Insert stem nut (round ring) onto valve stem and tighten ring type lock nut it at the base near the wheel rim. Install black valve cap over valve stem tip so dust does not clog this delicate mechanism. Use Presta tip to inflate. 23. Schrader valve stem - Replace valve cover. Nothing else needed. This is the valve that is the same as your car tires and accepts car tire inflation pumps (but with care!). Use Schrader tip to inflate. 24. Dunlop valve stem - Tighten the ring nut at base of stem, replace valve cover. Use Presta tip to inflate.

is it okay to use a air compressor at a low setting to inflate a bike tire

[@parktool]

With the proper fitting, an air compressor is definitely acceptable. Park Tool makes a bicycle-specific attachment for air compressors: www.parktool.com/product/shop-inflator-inf-2 Otherwise, a standard Schrader valve attachment is adequate, as long as you are mindful not to overinflate. Check with a pressure gauge as you fill.

[@ronvoll6748]

Great video. One additional point, before removing the tube from the tire, mark the tire where the valve is and the side of the valve towards you. This way when you inflate the tube and find the leak, you can hold the tube up to the tire in its original configuration and see where the leak was on the tire. Inspect the tire in that area. Then hold the tube up to the wheel, lining up the valve and the valve hole and inspect the wheel in the location of the leak. I never thought about if the rim tape didn't completely cover the spoke holes the tube could bulge into that area causing a weak point. Buying new rim tape today. Thanks.

everyone here knows at one point they just used a screwdriver instead of tire levers or in a real pinch a butter knife, lol, we're all guilty of it.

Removed, patched up and re-installed the tube & tire, all thanks to your videos, all within an hour. Many thanks for this great tutorial!

Old dude cycling for the first time in ages says, "Thank you!"

Used this video to change my first popped tire on my new MTB. This made it very easy.

I ignored this video because I felt it was too long. While following what I heard and saw on a previous video, this one came on. I really appreciated all the good tips as well as clear and thorough instructions. I almost threw out the bad tube but upon hearing the explanation of how to find the hole, I found it and will repair it. I really liked how to tell what happened to the tire based on the kind of hole made. The hole was small and easily repaired. Thanks for helping me save money.

How are there 250+ dislikes for this video? KZbin "bots" or "creative" algorithms? Makes no sense to me. Great instructional video. I would have given it two thumbs up if it were possible. Cheers.

I’m so glad this video is out, Ngl I always hated changing inner tubes until you showed me how to correct remove it. I just replaced mine and realised my front v brakes wire holder had snapped. Accident avoided

Thank you very much! I'm huge into mountain biking, but since i'm quite young i didn't know how to properly change a tube and all. After watching this video I now know how to properly do all of the necessary things involving bike tires. Yet again thanks so much! Keep up the great work.

This was so helpful. Now, all I need is a new tube, tire, bike levers, maybe an air pressure inflator to save me some energy and time, oh and some money to purchase all of this.
