Fixing Flat Tires
To fix a flat tire on your bike, start by removing the wheel and tire. Inspect the tire for any debris that may have caused the puncture. Use tire levers to remove the tire from the rim, and then locate the puncture. Patch the hole with a tire patch kit or replace the inner tube if necessary. Once the puncture is fixed, reassemble the tire and wheel, and inflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
Adjusting Gears
To adjust the gears on your bike, start by identifying the problem. If the gears are not shifting smoothly, check the cable tension and adjust it as needed. If the gears are skipping or slipping, adjust the derailleur limit screws to ensure proper alignment. Make sure the chain is clean and lubricated, and test the gears by riding the bike to ensure they are shifting smoothly. If further adjustments are needed, consult a bike repair manual or seek professional help.
