Changing Tubes

Changing tubes can be a pain if you don't have the tools or the experience to do it. It is much easier to use metal tire "wrenches" because they allow you to push harder and give you more mechanical advantage. In your kit you are going to need an extra tube, wrenches and possibly a patch set. In case you get a hole in your tire, if you can pack a dollar bill in your kit. When you change your tube, put the dollar over the hole in the tire to spread out the pressure of the tube against the tire. This will help ensure that you don't blow out your tire before you replace it, which I highly recommend you do. When you go to change your tubes make sure you use a good tube that has no holes in it and check the inside of your tire and your rim to ensure there are no irregularities that could cause a flat. *You may need find videos on Youtube so you do it right.
