| How to choose an inner tube: |
To maintain a bike, it's essential to know the exact dimensions of the tyres.This information is found on the sidewall of the tyre (diameter and width).For example, 16 x 1.60 corresponds to a tyre that is 16 inches in diameter and 1.60 inches wide.
The ETRTO marking (e.g.40-305) indicates a width of 40 mm and an inner diameter of 305 mm, which is equivalent to 16 x 1.60. |
| To remove the inner tube, you will need the following tools: |
Remove the worn inner tube using B’TWIN tyre levers. |
| Checks to carry out before installing an inner tube: |
Remove any grit, glass or debris stuck in the tyre.
A foreign object left behind can cause a puncture very soon,so check the tyre thoroughly.
Check that no objects are stuck in the rubber after a ride.
Even a small stone can puncture your inner tube over time.Clean the surface of the tyre before refitting it.
Run your finger gently over the tyre to feel for any abnormalities. |

| Inflating a tyre: |
