00:00:01:42
You explained how it works with a car. But how about when your bike has a flat tire?
00:00:01:42
00:00:03:02
[Towards M] With the lever.
00:00:03:02
00:00:03:47
00:00:03:47
00:00:04:11
00:00:04:11
00:00:05:34
Um, yes.
00:00:05:34
00:00:07:11
00:00:07:11
00:00:08:38
[Towards M] But I never have problems with my bike.
00:00:08:38
00:00:10:31
00:00:10:31
00:00:12:17
[Towards M] I’ve never had a flat tire.
00:00:12:17
00:00:15:03
When the tires are low on air, I go to the gas station and use their pumps to inflate my tires.
00:00:15:03
00:00:18:42
Or, for example, the valve may be too big for a normal air pump, then that doesn’t get you ver far.
00:00:18:42
00:00:23:35
Then I have to go to the gas station and use their pump to inflate the tire, and that’s it.
00:00:23:35
00:00:24:02
But, you/
00:00:24:02
00:00:25:02
That happens sometimes, but having a completely flat and broken tire?
00:00:25:02
00:00:26:15
00:00:26:15
00:00:27:27
I can’t do that, I’d have to throw it in the trash.
00:00:27:27
00:00:29:08
I’d have to get a new tire and put it on.
00:00:29:08
00:00:30:07
But that doesn’t really happen.
00:00:30:07
00:00:32:14
A completely new tire?
00:00:32:14
00:00:32:28
Yes, if I feel like it.
00:00:32:28
00:00:33:42
00:00:33:42
00:00:36:15
I don’t like to spend hours fiddling around with bits and pieces.
00:00:36:15
00:00:38:13
With these things, I’d rather buy a new one, and then I put in a new tire and I’m done with it.
00:00:38:13
00:00:39:05
But, you, I/
00:00:39:05
00:00:39:10
00:00:39:10
00:00:39:37
But how do you mount the new tire?
00:00:39:37
00:00:41:04
00:00:41:04
00:00:43:36
[Towards M] Um, no, I don’t patch up a flat or punctured tire.
00:00:43:36
00:00:44:05
No, I dump the tire.
00:00:44:05
00:00:45:30
00:00:45:30
00:00:47:00
And I put a new tire on the bike, a green one.
00:00:47:00
00:00:48:14
A completely new wheel with spokes?
00:00:48:14
00:00:48:38
00:00:48:38
00:00:49:21
[Towards M] Yes, that too.
00:00:49:21
00:00:51:29
00:00:51:29
00:00:53:00
Yes, if it’s new and modern?
00:00:53:00
00:00:54:38
Then I’ll put on a whole new wheel, why not?
00:00:54:38
00:00:57:23
00:00:57:23
00:00:57:32
Well.
00:00:57:32
00:00:58:08
You/
00:00:58:08
00:00:58:18
00:00:58:18
00:00:59:44
00:00:59:44
00:01:02:22
But if you’re stuck somewhere in a village, for example?
00:01:02:22
00:01:04:31
Your bike breaks down and all the shops are closed.
00:01:04:31
00:01:06:19
What do you do, you need the bike to continue your trip.
00:01:06:19
00:01:07:26
How would you repair it?
00:01:07:26
00:01:08:48
You could/
00:01:08:48
00:01:10:22
So for example, you’re in a village.
00:01:10:22
00:01:13:29
If something happened to you there, you couldn’t just go and buy something because everything is closed.
00:01:13:29
00:01:13:46
What do you do?
00:01:13:46
00:01:14:45
You’ve got plans, you want to meet somebody somewhere.
00:01:14:45
00:01:17:07
You look at it and you think, oh, that’s easy to repair.
00:01:17:07
00:01:18:21
You have to tinker with it, screw a bit here and there, and so on.
00:01:18:21
00:01:19:04
What exactly does that look like?
00:01:19:04
00:01:21:17
You take a look at it and then, what do you to, stuck somewhere in a village?
00:01:21:17
00:01:22:15
How would that work, what would that look like?
00:01:22:15
00:01:22:20
[Towards M] But you could also take along something for the bike just to be safe, or you could place it under the seat.
00:01:22:20
00:01:27:10
00:01:27:10
00:01:27:41
I can’t remember what it’s called right now.
00:01:27:41
00:01:30:23
You always carry it along just to be safe, in case your bike breaks down or has a flat tire.
00:01:30:23
00:01:33:02
In case of emergency you can use the air pump to inflate the tire.
00:01:33:02
00:01:35:41
But you don’t pump in air, but some kind of glue which coats the inside of the inner tube and seals it.
00:01:35:41
00:01:38:05
Once that hardens you can continue riding reasonably well.
00:01:38:05
00:01:40:09
Once you’re back home you can repair it properly.
00:01:40:09
00:01:40:36
You can also do it like that.
00:01:40:36
00:01:41:42
But what would that repair look like?
00:01:41:42
00:01:41:49
00:01:41:49
00:01:43:18
[Towards M] Yes, in order to repair the tire you need to/
00:01:43:18
00:01:45:27
00:01:45:27
00:01:46:48
I could show you a lot better with a real bike.
00:01:46:48
00:01:48:32
If I’m just thinking about it I have no clue how to do it anymore.
00:01:48:32
00:01:52:16
Um, first, you need to loosen the axle nuts, which are located at the end of the bike fork.
00:01:52:16
00:01:54:25
First, you loosen and take off the axle nut on one side, then on the other side.
00:01:54:25
00:01:55:42
I take the wheel down/
00:01:55:42
00:01:56:38
You pull the wheel downwards out of the fork.
00:01:56:38
00:01:58:42
Of course it’s easier if you first turn the bike upside down.
00:01:58:42
00:01:59:43
That’s easier, I didn’t think of that, well.
00:01:59:43
00:02:00:47
So flip it over first.
00:02:00:47
00:02:03:08
Then you loosen the nuts on each side and put them aside.
00:02:03:08
00:02:04:31
Then you lift the wheel off the bike.
00:02:04:31
00:02:07:45
Then you have to pry the tire off the rim bit by bit.
00:02:07:45
00:02:10:38
But first you have to take the fixing ring off the valve, then you can take down the whole tire from the rim.
00:02:10:38
00:02:12:06
After that, you can pull it off completely.
00:02:12:06
00:02:14:28
Then you take the new inner tube and push the valve through the opening in the rim.
00:02:14:28
00:02:15:42
You put the inner tube back onto the rim.
00:02:15:42
00:02:18:13
Then, um, the tire needs to fill with air.
00:02:18:13
00:02:20:03
Or you use the air pump to inflate it.
00:02:20:03
00:02:21:46
Then you push the tire back onto the rim and adjust it.
00:02:21:46
00:02:23:30
You put the wheel back on and fasten the nuts, I guess.
00:02:23:30
00:02:25:01
I think that’s how it works but I haven’t done it myself yet.
00:02:25:01
00:02:26:26
I’ve seen it though, yes.
00:02:26:26
00:02:27:16
But I haven’t done it myself.
00:02:27:16
00:02:28:43
But I think that’s roughly how you can imagine it.
