You don't put it ON the bike. You put it in the tire.


* STEP 1: Take a new tire and slip one edge of it all the way around the rim. It should be possible to do this by hand, although you can use one of the tire tools if necessary.
*
STEP 2: Place the inner tube completely inside the new tire, taking care to line up the inner tube valve with the valve hole in the rim (see B). Push the tube as far into the tire as possible. It might help to inflate the tube very slightly.
* STEP 3: Using your hands, push as much of the second edge of the tire onto the rim as possible. Continue pushing the tube into the tire as needed.
* STEP 4: Insert a tire tool between the rim and the portion of the tire that is not yet installed.
* STEP 5: Slowly lever the tool upward and force the tire over the rim edge. Use a second tool to push the tube into place if necessary.
* STEP 6: Gently roll the tire into place over the rim edge. Work slowly and avoid snapping the tire into place as this tends to pinch the tube and cause air leaks.
* STEP 7: Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure written on the side of the tire, and replace the wheel on the bike.

Do not use tools to put in a new tube. Put one side of the tire on the rim. Inflate the new tube until it is just round, (very important prevents pinches). Place tube inside tire putting the valve stem in the hole first. Work the other side of the tire onto the rim using both thumbs to press the bead over the rim. When inflating be sure to check that the bead is seated properly on the rim

step 1 deflate tire
step 2 put a little dish soap around the tire
step 3 take a screw driver ( flat head ) and pry one side of the tire out (one side only) and away from the rim
step 4 pull old tube out
step 5 stuff new tube in, be sure to align valve stem up with the hole
step 6 clamp valve stem with a pair of vice grips ( don't clamp too tight because you will smash the valve stem)
step 7 take the flat head screwdriver and pry the tire back on to the rim ( be sure not to get too close to the inner tube because you will put a hole in it)
step 8 inflate tire to specified air pressure ( do not over inflate or the inner tube will explode.
be sure that an adult helps you. have fun and ride safe
