There are various know-hows and things to do during the work process in the case of tube tires instead of puncture repair of tubeless tires for medium and large bikes.
Here, let’s practice working with a Supercap spoked wheel, assuming that the tire tube is replaced.
- Tubes are also changed when tires are replaced
- Smooth exchange by using easy-to-use tools
- Air valve tool is also essential
Tubes are also changed when tires are replaced
When was the last time you changed a tire tube? It is good if you can remember, but if this is the first time you have changed a tire on a bike you own, be sure to purchase not only the tire but also the tire tube and even the rim band (the part that protects the tube from the bumps on the spoke nipples) in advance. Every two tire changes, these peripheral parts should also be replaced.
Smooth exchange by using easy-to-use tools
Tire levers are the most important tool needed for changing tires, but levers alone are not enough to make the job easier. It is reassuring to have a work stand and various chemicals to stabilize the tire removal operation. In particular, a work stand is indispensable. There is a method of using an old tire as a stand, but it moves up and down and is not easy to work with.
What we use here is a curb for changing tires, which was handmade by a carpenter.
The curb was designed to be portable and easy to store, and the result is the curb assembly type. Simply fixing the plate frame with wood screws and having a platform to receive the rim makes it easier to work with.
Air valve tool is also essential
An Air Valve Tool is necessary to remove air from a tire tube. In the old days, air valve caps had a valve tool-type product, and a rubber cap was inserted into the tool part to protect it.
