Fixing Flat Tires
To repair a flat tire on a bicycle, start by removing the wheel from the bike. Use tire levers to carefully remove the tire from the rim, then inspect the inner tube for punctures. Patch or replace the tube as needed, and then reassemble the tire and wheel before reattaching it to the bike.
Adjusting Gears
To adjust the gears on a bicycle, start by ensuring the bike is in a stand or propped up securely. Use the barrel adjuster on the derailleur to fine-tune the shifting, making small adjustments at a time until the gears shift smoothly. Check the cable tension and limit screws to ensure proper alignment and function.
Replacing Brakes
To replace the brakes on a bicycle, start by loosening the brake cable and removing the old brake pads. Install new brake pads and adjust them to the correct position, then reattach the brake cable and adjust the tension as needed. Test the brakes to ensure they are functioning properly before riding.
