Bike Rims
What if you are riding your bicycle and your tire suddenly went kaput? Of course, you will need to replace it if you do not want to go all the way back carrying a bicycle on your shoulders.
You should know how to put those new bike tires on the rims of the wheel. Rim is what they call the circular metal where the tire is mounted on. In the case of bicycles, this is commonly attached on the outer ends of spokes. This is the one that will basically hold the tire and the tube.
So here is how you can properly attach it:
Step 1: You will need the right size of bike tires, of course. When you have purchased the right one, you can attach it to your bike. Just flip the bike upside down so the tires are facing you and you will have easier access.
Step 2: Get a wrench from your tools and unscrew the two bolts on either side of the wheel. This is what holds the tire to the entire frame of the wheel. After doing so, remove the whole wheel from the bicycle.
Step 3: The next thing you need to do is to get a screwdriver, preferably with a flatter edge. This will make it easier to deflate the tire. You are just going to push the valve and it will automatically deflate.
Step 4: Once the tire has significantly deflated, it will be easier to detach it from the rim. Just push the screwdriver between the tire and the rim. Just make sure you do not puncture the inner tube. Slowly pry the tire including the inner tub away from the rims. After loosening up some parts, you can already do the rest using your hands.
Step 5: If you want to replace the inner tube, this is the best time to do it. Just insert it in the new tire you have bought. Of course, you will need to put it while it is still flat.
Step 6: You can now put it on the rim. Locate the bike rim hole and insert the tire stem in there. Proceed by inserting the rest of the tire in a circular motion. Once you are done attaching the first parts, the rest are easier to insert. You can use a screwdriver to insert the edges of the tire to the rim just make sure you do not puncture it.
Step 7: Place the wheel back in the bicycle again and reattach the bolts. Now you can inflate the tire.
