Anyone who rides a bike frequently has experienced either a flat tyre, the desire to install new tyres, or both. Flats happen for a variety of reasons and your tyres will eventually wear out and need to be replaced, but the task of installing a new tube is a relatively simple one that anyone can learn to do on their own. With the right equipment and very basic knowledge, you’ll never have to worry about a pesky flat ending a great ride. Check out the video below to see how easy it is to master this essential skill.
