How to Fix
a Flat Tire (Introduction)
Many bicycles
sit unused in American garages because owners are daunted by the task of
either fixing the flat or taking the bike to a bike store for repair.
It is true
that beginners can spend up to an hour trying to fix a flat. And it is true
that sometimes they are not successful even after all that effort.
With the
information in these instructions and practice, most people should be able to
fix a flat in under 10 minutes. Practice at home when you are not in a
hurry-you'll feel more confident if you get a flat on the road. |
