Video: Changing the tube on a bike tire
Learn the importance of always having spare tubes on hand for unexpected mishaps while cycling. Find out more in the full post here!
So if you follow us on Twitter or Facebook you likely saw that Sunday was a planned ride day, but while trying to make sure I had air in my tires I ended up tearing one of the tubes. Not having any spares around was the first lesson, always have some extras!
So on Monday I ran out and picked up 3 tubes, between mine and the wife’s bike I hope 3 will last us a little bit.
I realized I don’t think I’ve ever changed a bike tire before, so I figured, I may as well stick a camera up on the wall and film the process. I also took the camera out into the garage while I put air in the tire, but the lighting was so bad I didn’t bother doing anything with that part of the video.
So here it is, our first video for BicycleTips.com, I promise future videos will have higher production quality! This was just last minute thrown together and edited.
The video was recorded with a GoPro Hero camera, highly recommended!
