Cycling UK has produced a series of easily accessible video guides on maintenance and road safety. In this guide, we cover what to do if you're unfortunate enough to pick up a puncture. • Punctures are one of the most commons problems you're likely to encounter when cycling. • But with a little preparation, and the correct tools, they are easy to fix. • Make sure you take with you on your ride: • • tyre levers • • a replacement inner tube • • or patches • • a pump • First, you'll need to find somewhere safe to pull over. • And if you have V-brakes, you'll need to release them to remove the wheel. The video shows you exactly how to do this. • You'll need to squeeze the tyre to release the seal between the tyre and the rim of the wheel, and use levers to lift the tyre off the wheel. • Remove the inner tube, check the tyre for the cause of the puncture, and insert a new inner tube. • Once you're refitted the tyre, use a pump to reinflate it - and you should be good to go. • Don't forget to keep hold of your old inner tube - you may be able to repair it with patches and use it as a spare. • You can also check out our five handy written guides on bike maintenance. Fixing punctures is covered in the third guide, 'Repairing a Puncture.' It also contains useful information about quick release skewers and how to remove your wheel. • Packed with instructional diagrams and handy hints, it's been designed to download on your phone as a reference guide you can take wherever you go. • • • Check out the Cycling UK website for more wheelie handy advice and the latest news: https://www.cyclinguk.org/ • • • FACEBOOK: / cyclinguk • TWITTER: / wearecyclinguk • INSTAGRAM: / wearecyclinguk • STRAVA: / strava • LINKEDIN: / cyclinguk • TIKTOK: / cyclinguk • • • Thanks so much for watching.
